Saints may have a devastating linebacker problem against Bijan Robinson

New Orleans Saints linebackers Kaden Elliss and Pete Werner missed consecutive practices on Thursday and Friday, putting their status in doubt ahead of facing Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson. Elliss is dealing with a calf injury, while Werner remains sidelined after exiting the previous game.

Darrion Gray of Who Dat Dish writes that missing both starters would severely handicap the Saints' run defense against Robinson. While linebacker Danny Stutsman could replace one starter, losing both would create major depth issues and force defensive reshuffling.
