Saints' Sterling Moore suffered pectoral injury in Week 2: source

are on a path to become thinner at the defensive back position.

Cornerback Sterling Moore suffered a pectoral injury during Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots, according to a source familiar with the situation.

The severity of Moore's injury is unclear.

The 5-foot-10, 202-pound Moore played 32 defensive snaps, mostly as the third cornerback, and recorded three tackles in Week Two.

Moore, who enters his seventh season, first joined the Saints in 2016 and played a large role in stabilizing an injury-riddled cornerback group before re-signing a one-year deal in March.
