The New Orleans Saints are placing Emmanuel Sanders on the reserve/COVID-19 list and the veteran wide receiver won't play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

(Tre’Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, and Bennie Fowler would likely be the top three wideouts for New Orleans if Thomas is also out on Sunday.)

No one ever said this was going to be easy....

SFIAH

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

So... it’s Smith, Callaway and Deonte Harris?

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

More Cook and Trautman. Also probably more two RB looks with Kamara at WR.

Have a bad feeling the 2020 season is close to ending, or at least close to being significantly modified with a long break.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Why would you think that? There is still a ridiculously small number of players that have tested positive. The vast majority of COVID listings have either been false positives or possible close contacts. At this point of the season it has been FAR less difficult than I expected and you know how positive I am. I expected more impact with still no chance of cancelling or suspension. Once again, there is WAY too much revenue on the line to overreact on the part of the NFL.

Where's Guido Merkins when you need him?????

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Correct. Bennie Fowler too.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

I’m looking forward to seeing a bit more Callaway, regardless of the reasons why!

I think Crawley has joined Sanders on the Covid list now also.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

We still have Kamara at RB/WR and Jared Cook at TE (If we decide to throw to him). What bothers me too is neither Armstead nor Nick Eason practiced.

Wait, Bennie Fowler WR was on DNP for a shoulder injury too. Uggh.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Panthers have been suspect against the run thus far.

Heavy dose of AK, Murray then up the seam with Jared C. 3quan has shown he can produce when called upon & the game isn't too big for rookie Callaway. Getting Deonte' Harris back is also a plus.

The back end of the defense simply needs to play better on Sunday.

Saints win by 10.

Lattimore gotta shut Anderson down.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Right, here ... oh, Merkins. Nevermind.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

At least ten. I have a feeling this team will start circling the troops and turning things up on both sides of the ball.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

I don't think Lattimore can run with Anderson.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

That depends upon what a healthy d-line can put into Teddy's face.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

I think these unforeseen developments have Coach P a little giddy. Believe he'll be burning the candle dialing in a game plan for this weekend. I think he is happy to accept the challenge, think he wants it. Actually the newer faces, Calloway, Trautman facing a conference foe may not be a bad thing.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Yep, Fowler is injured as well...

Not if Lattimore is still having lingering hammy issues...

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Lattimore is heart breaking. So much potential. So inconsistent. I don’t like his body language either.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Yup, to me he's the Reggie Bush of the defense.

When he plays angry and amped up, he's an all pro that completely opens up how the team can play.

Unfortunately those moments are rare and he plays down to competition pretty often now.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

That’s a good comparison, cuz I love Reggie Bush to this day.

Clapping for COVID.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

Don't forget, Jackson and Apple questionable for Sunday.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

I put the over/under on pass attempts by Brees at 50. No receivers. No problem.

Re: Report: Saints' Sanders placed on COVID-19 list, won't face Panthers
 

I hope that he comes back without any complications. He's not a young man anymore.
