Top Saints News

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Day-to-day

    Grupe is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Grupe was listed on the injury report with a groin injury before Week 12, but he practiced fully Friday and played through it, making five of his six field-goal attempts. The 25-year-old has made 24 of 30 field goals on the year with all six misses being 40 yards or longer and has not yet missed a game this season. Austin Seibert is expected to join the team's practice squad and will provide some special teams insurance in the event Grupe is unable to play Sunday against the Lions.

  • Saints' Foster Moreau: No targets in Week 12

    Moreau played 31 of the Saints' 72 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

    Despite playing at least 30 percent of the snaps in each of the Saints' last four games, Moreau has drawn just one target in that span while he's been deployed primarily as a blocker. Moreau's downturn in involvement in the passing game has coincided with the return of top tight end Juwan Johnson, who has played the past four games after being sidelined from Weeks 4 through 7 with a calf injury.

  • Saints' Keith Kirkwood: Records three catches Sunday

    Kirkwood played 25 of the Saints' 72 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 20 yards on three targets in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

    Re-signed during the Saints' Week 11 bye after New Orleans lost Michael Thomas (knee) to injured reserve, Kirkwood ended up stepping into a more prominent role than anticipated Sunday. Kirkwood saw elevated snaps in part due to starting wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (quadriceps) exiting early due to injuries, but the 28-year-old was still able to outpace fellow reserve receivers A.T. Perry (one catch for seven yards on two targets) and Lynn Bowden (no catches on two targets) in terms of production. With Thomas on IR for at least three more games and Olave and Shaheed perhaps at risk of missing time, Kirkwood could have a path to a top-three role at receiver Week 13 against the Lions.

  • Saints' Lynn Bowden: Steps up in injured receiving corps

    Bowden failed to catch either of his two targets during Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

    Bowden saw his most significant usage of the season to help fill in for the Saints' injury-riddled receiving corps. With Michael Thomas (knee) already on injured reserve, New Orleans became extremely short handed after Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) were both forced out with injuries. As a result, Bowden played a season-high 46 offensive snaps and went on to account for his team's third-longest play from scrimmage on a 29-yard carry in the fourth quarter. The 6-foot wideout also had two targets wiped off the board due to penalties, including a 14-yard reception in the third quarter. Bowden's capability as a rusher on end-arounds and as a punt returner could continue to net him increased playing time in the event Shaheed remains sidelined against Detroit in Week 13.
