Derek Carr: "We’re humans first"

Happy Friday, and welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Sept. 13.

We are two days away from the Saints’ road game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Saints got back to their normal routine Thursday, a day after the team altered its plans in preparation for Hurricane Francine. Here’s a look at what we wrote about on Thursday.

Just like you and me

While people in Louisiana dealt with Hurricane Francine, members of the Saints dealt with it, too. They aren’t exempt from the adversity that we all face. Columnist Jeff Duncan wrote about the lessons that can be learned from events like Hurricane Francine.

Welcome to the NFL

Every player in the NFL has their “Welcome to the NFL” moment. Saints’ defensive end Chase Young gave a member of the Carolina Panthers a “Welcome to the NFL” moment in Sunday’s season opener. Beat writer Matt Paras has the details.

Test 2

The Saints' offensive line did its thing in the season opener. As our Luke Johnson writes, things will be much tougher in Week 2.

Injury update

A member of the Saints’ offensive line is dealing with an injury. Meanwhile, a key member of the secondary was upgraded. 

Gleason update

Saints’ legend Steve Gleason was hospitalized on Wednesday’s night. Jeff Duncan gives you the latest on Gleason.

Also, it’s Friday, which means we will be recording another Saints Insider podcast today. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel as we break down Sunday’s game at AT&T Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys.

That's all for today.

As always, thanks for reading. We'll have more news and analysis throughout the day as the Saints get ready to face the Dallas Cowboys.

Until next time...
