Sean Payton: "We haven’t heard anything relative to the opener (w/Green Bay). Obviously, we’ll have a Plan B. A lot of things from a priority standpoint are more important for our city. We fully anticipate starting the season with Green Bay & the question is where will it be at."

The New Orleans Saints believe they will still start the season on Sept. 12 against the Green Bay Packers, but the location of the Week 1 showdown is still to be determined.
Saints coach Sean Payton said he hasn’t heard anything from the NFL regarding the impact of Hurricane Ida on Week 1, but the team still isn’t sure if New Orleans and the Superdome will be in a position to host a football game in 13 days, per Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune.
