Already thin at the offensive tackle position with starting right tackle Zach Strief sitting out with a groin injury, the New Orleans Saints suffered another blow when Strief's replacement Charles Brown left the game late in the second quarter with a right knee injury. Brown did not return and left the locker room Sunday with the help of crutches. Early indications are that Brown suffered a sprained MCL. The Saints also lost nickel back Elbert Mack, who left the game in the fourth quarter after taking a knee to the head from teammate Will Smith. After the game, though, Mack, who had his most extensive playing time of the season, said he was fine and had passed an initial test for a concussion. Source: The Times Picayune
