The New Orleans Saints will be short a wide receiver against the Packers on Monday Night Football. Saints News Network's John Hendrix reports that wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be OUT due to an illness. He was battling through flu symptoms earlier in the week.

Without MVS, expect New Orleans to fill the void with a committee of players like Tipton, Pettis, Austin, and Wilson. Tight ends Moreau and Johnson may factor into Kubiak's game plan versus Green Bay.

In six game appearances, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has 14 receptions on 25 targets for 375 yards and four touchdowns. His greatest value has been 11-of-14 receptions created first downs for New Orleans this season. MVS's longest reception was for 71 yards and a touchdown.
