When the New Orleans Saints kick off with the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday, they’ll do so without either of their starting cornerbacks. Both Marshon Lattimore and Janoris Jenkins are sidelined with injuries, prompting the Saints to dig deep into their practice squad for reinforcements — even calling up Ken Crawley, just in case.
But Crawley shouldn’t be starting. Realistically, he shouldn’t even get on the field. The Saints have a pair of veteran backups in place to call on with P.J. Williams and Patrick Robinson, plus special teams stud Justin Hardee.
