METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Falcons in Atlanta due to an ankle injury, the team announced Friday.
Lattimore injured his ankle late in the Saints' game against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 12, and left the sideline on a cart. He did not participate in practice this week, with Saints coach Dennis Allen saying the injury would take some time to heal.
Allen did not commit to a stint on injured reserve for Lattimore. He missed 10 straight games last season due to a lacerated kidney and broken ribs but did not go on IR and returned for the final two games of the season.
