The New Orleans Saints are finally getting back home this week for a run of three consecutive games in front of the home fans, and they're doing it on the heels of an exhilarating, come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens.
But that win came at a cost, with starting LT Kelvin Banks out for the foreseeable future due to a high ankle sprain that will require surgery to repair. Saints head coach Kellen Moore said on WWL Radio this week that the challenge that his absence will pose as the coaches turn to preparation for a Raiders squad that enters at a surprising 2-0 and features on the league's premiere edge rushers in Maxx Crosby.
“He’s a really special player and you know, it’s going to be a challenge for us, no matter where he lines up, right side, left side," Moore told WWL's Mike Hoss and Bobby Hebert, "and so we’re going to have to do a really good job of having a clean protection plan, giving ourself the opportunities we need to help in those situations and then have a plan to support that.”
