NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Receivers Michael Thomas and Rashod Bateman could have been two of the marquee performers in Monday night’s matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints.
Instead, both were placed on injured reserve this week, leaving their teams to figure out how to move on without them for the rest of this season.
