Saints Storylines

OFFENSIVE LINE SHUFFLE: New Orleans placed Erik McCoy on injured reserve Saturday, which means he'll be out a minimum of four games with a calf injury. The Saints signed veteran Josh Andrews to the active roster, and all signs point to him being the team's center in his place. I've heard the plan is that Cesar Ruiz will stay at right guard, while Calvin Throckmorton and Lewis Kidd could rotate at left guard. This will be a huge focal point of today's matchup with the team facing off against T.J. Watt and company.

LANDRY RETURNS: We haven't seen Jarvis Landry since the Vikings game in London, and he tweeted out a 'green light' emoji on Saturday which indicates he'll be good to go. The only question is what his usage and participation is going to be like. Normally, players who return from injury are worked in on a pitch count, so Landry may not get a ton of snaps, but the ones he does get and targets he does see will make a big difference.

DEFENSIVE FOCUS: Can New Orleans get some turnovers today working against a rookie who has given it away a bit this season? That remains to be seen, but it'll be something to watch as the game unfolds whether or not the Saints defense can get something from Kenny Pickett or anything else throughout the game. The Saints defense struggled last week on 3rd Down, and they'll simply have to be better today. Pete Werner (ankle) won't be in the lineup, and we're unsure on the back end with Marcus Maye (abdomen) and P.J. Williams (illness) both being questionable. Regardless, New Orleans has to find a way today. Expect Pittsburgh to find some things underneath today.
