Overview
- Surtain briefly exited in the first quarter with a lower right leg issue, returned after a sideline evaluation, then later injured his left shoulder late in the first half.
- He stayed in the locker room at halftime and was officially ruled out late in the third quarter with a shoulder injury, per team announcements and broadcast reports.
- Replay showed his left arm and shoulder twist awkwardly on a tackle, and he was seen holding the shoulder as he left the field.
- Kris Abrams-Draine took over his outside spot, with Riley Moss and rookie Jahdae Barron logging larger roles; Barron recorded an interception before halftime.
- Sean Payton declined to provide specifics postgame, and by Monday the team had no update as Surtain underwent testing, including an MRI, to assess the severity.
