New Orleans Saints Top Two Receivers Ruled Out In Week 16

Despite being 5-9 on the year, the New Orleans Saints somehow have a shot at the playoffs still, sitting just one game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South, and if they are somehow to complete their push, they'll need to overcome some major injuries.

Every team in the NFL has been hit hard by injuries thus far in 2022, with the Saints being one of the teams hit hardest, and now, it gets even worse, as they've ruled out both Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry for their crucial Week 16 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

Landry has since been placed on season ending Injured Reserve, and it's safe to say that without these two and inconsistent QB play all season long, it's going to be a tough three games for the Saints to win the NFC South, but right now, they've got just as good a chance as anyone.
