Breaking News: Saints CB Marshon Lattimore Inactive vs. Cowboys

Marshon Lattimore, Saints Cornerback, Ruled Inactive Due to Hamstring Injury

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore will miss Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a hamstring injury, the team announced. Lattimore suffered the injury in practice on Friday and was listed as questionable on the injury report. However, he was unable to participate in Saturday's practice and has been ruled out for the game.

Lattimore's Absence a Blow to Saints Defense

Lattimore's absence is a significant blow to the Saints' defense. He is one of the team's top playmakers and has been a key part of their success in recent years. In 2021, Lattimore was named a First-Team All-Pro and was selected to the Pro Bowl. He also led the NFL with five interceptions.

With Lattimore out, the Saints will likely start Paulson Adebo at cornerback opposite Bradley Roby. Adebo is a second-year player who has shown promise, but he is not as experienced as Lattimore. The Saints may also use P.J. Williams in the slot.

Cowboys Offense Could Benefit from Lattimore's Absence

Lattimore's absence could give the Cowboys' offense an advantage on Sunday. The Cowboys have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL, led by quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. With Lattimore out, the Cowboys may be able to exploit the Saints' secondary and put up big numbers.

However, the Saints' defense is still expected to be tough, even without Lattimore. They have a number of other talented players, including safety Tyrann Mathieu and linebacker Demario Davis. The Cowboys will need to be at their best to overcome the Saints' defense and win the game.

Injury Update: Lattimore Expected to Miss Multiple Games

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Lattimore is expected to miss multiple games with his hamstring injury. This is a significant blow to the Saints, who are already without several other key players, including wide receiver Michael Thomas and defensive end Marcus Davenport.

The Saints will need to find a way to fill the void left by Lattimore's absence. They will likely rely more heavily on Adebo and Roby at cornerback, and they may also use Williams in the slot. The Saints will also need to get more pressure on the quarterback from their defensive line. If they can do that, they should be able to overcome Lattimore's absence and continue to be a competitive team.
