MINNEAPOLIS -- Ken Crawley looked like one of the New Orleans Saints' top cornerbacks for most of training camp, but he won't be playing in Monday night's season opener.
Crawley is among the seven inactive players for the Saints in Monday's game against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, which kicks off at 6:10 p.m.
Linebacker Stephone Anthony is also inactive after being limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury. With Anthony out, Adam Bighill will be active as the team's fifth linebacker after being promoted from the practice squad.
Left tackle Terron Armstead, linebacker Nate Stupar, wide receiver Austin Carr, defensive end Trey Hendrickson and quarterback Taysom Hill are also inactive for the Saints.
