The New Orleans Saints offense is in rough shape ahead of their game against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.
For starters, quarterbacks Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian are both in COVID protocol. That means rookie Ian Book will start.
It gets much worse from there for New Orleans.
Tight ends Adam Trautman and Juwan Johnson both tested positive for COVID. They’re missing most of their best offensive tackles as well as their starting left guard.
The Saints are 7-7 and still in the playoff race. But given their situation ahead of Monday night’s game, pulling of a win might be pretty tough. They also still are waiting on head coach Sean Payton to be cleared after missing last week’s game due to a positive COVID test.
