Saints dealing with injuries, dissent and a losing streak as they try to salvage their season
While the New Orleans Saints have time to salvage this season and a relatively weak upcoming schedule, they may have hit a new low point. The Saints (5-7) have lost three straight for the first time this season to fall a full game behind first-place Atlanta in the NFC South. Starting quarterback Derek Carr is in the concussion protocol for the second time in a month and also has throwing shoulder and rib injuries — all of which leave his status in doubt for upcoming games.
