Saints manage depleted roster through Vikings game

The Saints confirmed multiple defensive absences, including Vernon Broughton, Nathan Shepherd, Kaden Elliss, Jeremiah Wright and Anfernee Jennings, while Jaylan Ford and Lorenzo Styles Jr. returned from injured reserve and Easton Kilty and Cedric Tillman were elevated. Kamara, Barion Brown and Julian Blackmon were active, but the available group could not prevent Minnesota's 23-13 victory.
