METAIRIE, La. -- There is plenty of reason for optimism that the New Orleans Saints can finally end their streak of three straight 7-9 seasons and make a playoff run this year.
But, man, the Max Unger injury news could take a lot of wind out of their sails.
Unger suffered a foot injury, a source confirmed, but the source said it is too early to determine if it will impact his status for the start of the regular season.
I haven’t put together my annual ranking of the Saints’ roster yet, but Unger was easily going to crack the top five (he ranked fifth last year).
