If Arrington does require surgery and will have to miss some time some players that could vie for the number four spot are Nick Toon, Joseph Morgan, Courtney Roby, and Andy Tanner. Toon might have had the best shot of any wide receiver to claim the number four position, but unfortunately he has been dealing with some injuries this offseason. Toon was not able to play against the Cardinals and will likely miss the Saints’ next preseason game against the New England Patriots. Not being able to play in these preseason games is definitely hurting Toon’s chances to claim the number four spot.

Roby has been with the Saints for a while now and has always been a great contributor to the Saints’ special teams. Roby made a case for himself in the Hall of Fame game where he recorded 54 receiving yards on just four receptions. Roby is a proven entity on the Saints and he could definitely help their receiving corps given the chance.

Tanner was a pleasant surprise for the Saints as he had big gains against the Cardinals. In Sunday’s game Tanner caught four passes for 75 yards. Tanner played a solid game despite losing a fumble and dropping some passes. Tanner really established himself as a serious contender to make the Saints 53-man roster.

At this point I think it might be a two-man race between Tanner and Morgan. Of course, if Arrington’s injury is not that serious I still think he is a lock to be the number four receiver. With that said, Morgan might be able to edge Tanner for the number four spot. Tanner did play better than Morgan in the Hall of Fame game, but that was just one game. I will be interested to see who can contribute more in Thursday’s preseason game against the New England Patriots. Despite a few dropped passes Morgan had a solid game against the Cardinals as he caught three passes for 35 yards.

Morgan could be the speedster the Saints are looking for and I really think he would complement the Saints’ top three receivers. Morgan is able to beat his defender and will be able to catch the long ball from Brees. If Arrington’s injury is serious enough to keep him out of the lineup I think the number four spot is Morgan’s for the taking. However, Morgan will have to outplay Tanner and the other wide receivers to solidify himself as the team’s number four receiver.
