LOOK: Saints 53-man roster, practice squad for Week 4 vs. Falcons

All eyes will be on the Caesars Superdome when the New Orleans Saints kick off Monday Night Football with the Atlanta Falcons, but which players will be suiting up for the black and gold? Injuries have hit the team hard in the opening weeks of the 2026 season, particularly on offense, but that hasn't doesn't done much to slow down a unit averaging 27 points per game (11th-most). Even without left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. and running back Travis Etienne Jr., second-year quarterback Tyler Shough has found ways to move the ball and score points at a clip few teams can match. Now he has to do it against the dirty birds.
