The New Orleans Saints have been riddled with injuries of late and now they have yet another concern after defensive back Paulson Adebo suffered an injury during the Week 7 Thursday night contest against the Denver Broncos.

Most of the Saints' injuries lately have come on the offensive side of the ball. Not only were quarterback Derek Carr and wide receiver Chris Olave ruled out for the Week 7 game, the Saints also lost wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury that will end his season.

Adebo suffered an apparent leg injury in the second quarter of the game against the Broncos while trying to make a tackle. Here's the latest update.

End of update

Adebo appears to have suffered a serious injury. He was down on the field for awhile before eventually being carted to the locker room. The exact injury and severity remains unknown as of this writing.

Based on the video, Adebo looked to be clutching his knee. According to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, Adebo was fitted with an air cast, which is bad news and typically means a significant injury.
