The week six bye week for the New Orleans Saints could not have come at a better time as their injury list continued to grow recently. Can they get healthy and go on a run to compete for the division title?
The Saints, who will enter this Monday Night Football game at 3-2, used a balanced attack on offense to beat the Washington Football Team back on October 10th, 33-22 in the Saints third road win in four away games this season.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks will enter Monday night's game with injuries to both their starting quarterback and running back, Russell Wilson and Chris Carson, along with a 2-4 record after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime, 23-20 Sunday night. Monday seems like a must win game for the Seahawks, as they continue to fall behind in the NFC West standings.
Although it was expected the Saints would be getting healthier at the wide receiver position, early reports suggest that star receiver Michael Thomas is a few weeks away from returning to game action, despite starting to practice with the team. Offensive linemen Erik McCoy, Terron Armstead, defensive end Marcus Davenport, linebacker Kwon Alexander, and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith are on the active roster and are available to play tonight.
