The New Orleans Saints will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night for the second preseason game of the season. It’s the next big chance for players in the middle of position battles and those fighting for a roster spot to make their case.
For some, though, they won’t get that chance as they’ve been battling with injuries over the past week of practice. The Saints will be without a number of players, ranging from undrafted rookies to veterans trying to get better. Many absences are due to injuries. Others are being held out of the game after showing coaches enough in two days of joint practices with the Chargers.
