We're back. The New Orleans Saints (2-5) made some changes after their bye week and are hoping for better results against the Cleveland Browns (5-3) after firing run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti and activating multiple starters from injured reserve. They'll need all the help they can get against a Browns team that continues to pull wins out of its hat week after week, even if it's Shedeur Sanders at quarterback this Sunday instead of Deshaun Watson. Watson missed most of the week after entering concussion protocol, so Dillon Gabriel is the QB2 behind Sanders on Sunday.
Plenty of reinforcements are on the way for New Orleans. In addition to this year's first-round pick, wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, the Saints are getting their offensive line
back together with last year's first rounder Kelvin Banks Jr. returning at left tackle. Right guard Cesar Ruiz is back in the lineup after missing most of the last two games with a knee injury. The team also brought back Audric Estime and released former third-round pick Kendre Miller to make room in the backfield.
Here's the list of inactive players from each team:
New Orleans Saints inactive players
- RB CJ Donaldson (injury)
- DT Christen Miller
- DT John Ridgeway III
- S Mike Reid
- OT Mason Murphy
- LB Jaylan Ford
- QB Zach Wilson (emergency QB3)
Cleveland Browns inactive players
- DT Maliek Collins (injury)
- QB Deshaun Watson
- LB Justin Jefferson
- CB Noah Igbinoghene
- C Parker Brailsford
- QB Taylen Green (emergency QB3)
