METAIRIE, La. -- The NFL's 32nd-ranked defense will have a hard time fixing things in Week 3. The New Orleans Saints have ruled out rookie starting cornerback Marshon Lattimore (concussion) and veteran backup cornerback Sterling Moore (chest) for Sunday's game at the Carolina Panthers.
That leaves New Orleans with three cornerbacks on the roster who have started a total of nine career games in P.J. Williams, Ken Crawley and De'Vante Harris. They could also activate undrafted rookie Arthur Maulet from the practice squad and use a lot of three-safety looks in their nickel packages.
