If not for the injuries, the Saints may be a playoff team.

That's not a punchline, that's the truth. The Saints have had more critical injuries than any team in the league not named The Vikings. With the way Drew Brees has been playing in spite of this injury plague, anyone could easily see this team in the Playoffs. I mean, honestly, they're really only 2 wins away from being in (and actually a lot of losses from other people too).

But this most recent blow is going to make it even more difficult. Here's more from the Louisiana Radio Network:

"New Orleans has also placed tight end Josh Hill on injured reserve after breaking his right fibula. And there are eight Saints players listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, including center Max Unger and linebacker Craig Robertson."
