The New Orleans Saints have some notable former players playing in the UFL. One of them is Kirk Merritt. Merritt was a fan favorite during his time in black and gold, without taking many snaps in the regular season.
Merritt suffered a potentially serious injury on Sunday afternoon during a UFL game for the Houston Roughnecks.
The Roughnecks were quick to post their support for Merritt.
Merritt was a preseason playmaker in multiple years for New Orleans. He spent time in the NFL with a handful of teams but never quite produced at a high rate during his career. Now, he has been a key player on offense in the UFL.
Hopefully, we will get an update on Merritt's long-term status soon. Regardless, leaving on the cart is always a scary scenario for any football setting.
Saints fans will hope for the best for Merritt.
