METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints are hoping to get two key players back in the lineup in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams, following an extra-long break after their Thursday night loss to Carolina.
Running back Mark Ingram left Thursday’s game early to be evaluated for a concussion. And cornerback Delvin Breaux was inactive for the game as he continues to recover from a broken fibula.
But there was optimism that both are short-term issues.
Saints coach Sean Payton said he wasn’t positive whether Ingram was officially diagnosed with a concussion back in the locker room or if he is now in the NFL’s concussion protocol.
