Oakland, Calif. – Timing is everything.
A week ago, dynamic rookie wide receiver Joe Morgan had practically forced his way onto the Saints’ 53-man roster with his breakout performance in practices and preseason games. Now his status is more in doubt because of a knee injury that could sideline him for a month.
Earlier this month, the defensive tackle spot was one of the deepest on the Saints’ roster. Now the Saints might have to carry a fifth tackle into the opener just to have enough healthy players ready for the Green Bay Packers.
