News and Notes

Thomas suffers knee dislocation
WR Michael Thomas, who has been battling injuries since the 2020 season, left midway through the win over the Falcons. That injury has been announced as a dislocated knee and Thomas is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. Depending upon how far the Saints go in the playoffs Thomas' time in New Orleans could vary well be over.

Speculation surrounding possible retirement for Jordan
Despite Jordan's insistence that he has not thought beyond this season there is a belief inside the team that Jordan is planning to call it a career after the Saints season comes to an end. The 34 year old Jordan was drafted 24th overall in 2011 and has played his entire career with New Orleans.

Kamara tops 1,000
Alvin Kamara played sparingly last Sunday but his 47 rush yards were enough to get him over 1,000 yards on the season, finishing up with 1,023. Kamara scored five times on the ground. Kamara added three receiving touchdowns and 466 yards on 65 receptions.
