Make sure to dust off that Saints roster, because there's a good chance you'll find yourself saying "who?" at least a few times during the showdown against the Dolphins in Week 16.
With just hours to go ahead of Monday Night Football the Saints had 21 players on the COVID list, plus four coaches, ensuring New Orleans' depth would be stretched to the breaking point at the Caesars Superdome.
Among those players are linebackers Demario Davis and Kwon Alexander, safety Malcolm Jenkins, and quarterbacks Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian. Without any surprise additions, that means the NFL debut of rookie Ian Book at quarterback, and several other depth players stepping into starting roles.

THE HIGHLIGHTS
━━━━
BOOK TO CALLAWAY IS ... A THING?
It was a rough start for Ian Book, but he settled in and completed some nice throws to Marquez Callaway, including one for his first career first down.
━━━━
LOW BRIDGE!
Marcus Davenport. That is all.
━━━━
A BAD FIRST PAGE
Rookie quarterback Ian Book had a lot working against him, and that included his second pass of the game. The ball appeared to get tipped at the line and the result was a pick-6 to put the undermanned Saints in an early hole.
