New Orleans Saints Star Cornerback To Return In Week 17

The New Orleans Saints disappointing 2022 season is winding down, as they'll battle the No. 1 seed Philadelphia Eagles today, and ahead of that game, they got a surprising boost in the form of Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

Lattimore hasn't played since October 9 after lacerating his kidney in a scary incident, but now, he's finally back for New Orleans, and while it's too late to save the season, it will give Saints fans a glimpse of what this defence could look like when fully healthy.

His 2022 was limited to just four games, but over the past few years, he's been one of the best cornerbacks in the entire NFL, and if he can stay healthy next year, there's no reason why a 26-year old can't bounce back to be at his best.
