The Saints may be without one of their key defenders for the rest of the season.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Julian Blackmon is feared to have suffered a torn labrum during Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals.
Blackmon, 27, has already recently suffered a torn labrum, having undergone surgery to repair it in January. But this injury is to a different part of the same labrum and may require season-ending surgery.
The team is still doing tests on Blackmon on Monday.
A Colts third-round pick in 2020, Blackmon joined the Saints in July on a one-year deal. He’s recorded 10 interceptions and 22 passes defended in his 67 career games.
