I’ve been saying this for the last few years too. We always have a bunch of guys on our report. I thought the guy from Alabama was supposed to fix this

While they did address this a few years back, it's painfully obvious with the continued history of injured players, Brees included, that ownership/management needs to keep the medical team on their toes. Maybe they are complicit with the coaches, SP specifically, and that DA learned the same tricks. For us fans, it is painful to watch and takes the edge off of the excitement and disappoints us...maybe even plays into the narrative that games are sometimes predetermined. I sure hope not. It feels as if we've taken a step back or two. Likely the best attitude is to do what Foreverfan used to say : Expect us to lose and be surprised and pleased when we do win. Sucks nonetheless.

Take a quick browse at the week four injury reports of every NFL team. Half the teams in the league currently have about as many players listed as the Saints. 24 of the 32 teams have nine or more players listed this week. We are no more prone to injuries than any other team in the league.

It all comes down to point of view. We spend all week monitoring the health of primarily our own players and fail to see that everyone else is dealing with the same situations. Some teams are dealing with far worse.

well did the prima donna get toe turf....LMAO Foot injury

...and, Dalton is not the answer

NFL network reports that Kamara is out for today. Murray is activated from the practice squad.
I’m guessing that the rib injury was more serious than previously reported. My best guess is that they must’ve been limiting his touches in previous games.

I'm a firm believer that dome teams have more turf toe and lower leg injuries. I haven't done any research but that feels substantial. to me.

May be. But both Thomas (toe) and Landry (ankle) were injured on natural grass last week at Carolina.
