  • Saints' Rico Payton: Could return in Week 10

    Rotowire

    Payton (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

    Payton missed the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers after sustaining a back injury the game prior, but he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving himself a chance to play Sunday. If the Pittsburg State product is unable to go in Week 10, expect Ugo Amadi and Shemar Jean-Charles to see increased work with the Saints' first-team defense.

  • Saints' Rico Payton: Inactive Week 9

    Rotowire

    Payton (back) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

    Payton is primarily a special teams contributor for New Orleans this season, but could have seen a bigger role with Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring) and Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) also out. As a result, New Orleans figures to be thin in the secondary.
