After not appearing on Thursday’s injury report, it’s been confirmed 2021 first-round draft pick Payton Turner was placed on IR by the New Orleans Saints. The injury is a shoulder injury, and the extent of time he could miss is not yet known at this point. The Saints’ next three games will be against the Tennessee Titans, Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills.
Luckily for the Saints, defensive end is one of their best-suited for a next-man-up mentality. Marcus Davenport has been superb the past few weeks, with Cameron Jordan anchoring the other side of the defensive line.
