Saints' Top Cornerback Marshon Lattimore Placed on Injured Reserve
Jason Pierre-Paul Elevated to Active Roster as Lattimore Faces Minimum Four-Game Absence
- Marshon Lattimore, the New Orleans Saints' top cornerback, has been placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.
- Jason Pierre-Paul, a newly signed defensive end, has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster, potentially playing in the upcoming game against Atlanta.
- Lattimore will miss at least the Saints' next four games, with the earliest possible return being the Dec. 21 game against the Rams in Los Angeles.
- Michael Thomas, Saints receiver, was also placed on injured reserve earlier this week with a knee injury, potentially returning for the same game as Lattimore.
- Lattimore's absence leaves a significant gap in the Saints' defense, having contributed one interception, eight passes defensed, and two tackles for loss this season.
