Saints, Sean Payton Not Taking Any Unnecessary Risks

Season-ending injuries.

This Pre-Season, several NFC Playoff contending teams have been devastated by them.

Two weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers lost 2nd year star WR Kelvin Benjamin, one of their top offensive weapons.

This past Friday Night, the Green Bay Packers lost star WR Jordy Nelson — a serious blow to their Super Bowl aspirations in 2015.

Yesterday at the Superdome, Saints head coach Sean Payton decided that New Orleans wasn’t going to be next on the list.
