UPDATED, 10:56 a.m.: Welcome to another edition of the New Orleans Saints live blog. I’m Times-Picayune deputy editor Zach Ewing, here to bring you some updates, analysis and reaction to the Saints’ game at the New York Giants this afternoon.
It’s the Saints’ first road game in more than a month — since Nov. 3, to be exact, when the Saints lost in Carolina and fired Dennis Allen the next day.
That makes this interim coach Darren Rizzi’s first road game, of course, and it just so happens to be 15 miles from his hometown in New Jersey. To that end, your pregame reading assignment is this wonderful feature story on Rizzi and his upbringing that Luke Johnson wrote after spending the past couple of days with the Rizzis.
The other order of business just over an hour from gametime is that former LSU star Malik Nabers, a rookie wide receiver, will indeed be active for the Giants. He missed practice most of the week and was questionable, but he’ll be out there.
On the Saints end, Taysom Hill is out for the year after his knee injury last week, but otherwise New Orleans is healthy. That’s important to note especially on the offensive line, where Erik McCoy and Lucas Patrick both return. The Saints have their starting offensive line together for the first time since Week 3, when they came in 2-0 and McCoy went out on the first series with his major groin injury.
