New Orleans Saints inactive players for Week 5 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Here

we go. The New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings announced their lists of inactive players for Sunday’s game at the Caesars Superdome, and there will be some talented players stuck watching this one from the sidelines. It’s flu season, and an illness has been running through the Saints’ locker room with multiple defensive linemen missing time at practice because of it — starters like Nathan Shepherd and Vernon Broughton as well as rookie second-round pick Christen Miller.

Here’s who won’t be available when the black and gold kick off Week 5:
