What Happened to Le'Veon Moss? Latest Injury Update Doesn't Appear Too Good

Former New Orleans Saints Running Back Suffered Another Setback

Former New Orleans Saints running back Le'Veon Moss suffered another setback in his recovery from a torn ACL, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Moss suffered the injury during the Saints' Week 1 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Moss Was Initially Expected to Miss 6-8 Weeks

Moss was initially expected to miss 6-8 weeks with the injury, and Le'Veon was working his way back to the field. However, Rapoport reported that Moss suffered a setback during a recent practice, and he is now expected to miss the remainder of the season. This is a significant blow to the Saints, who have struggled without him and have a 7-9 record. Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara have started the last several games for the Saints at running back but have not been as effective as Moss was early this season.

Moss Had a Strong Start to the Season

Moss had a strong start to the season, rushing for 223 yards and three touchdowns on 46 carries.

Moss Was a Key Part of the Saints' Offense

Moss was a key part of the Saints' offense, and his absence will be felt. He was considered to be one of the best young running backs in the NFL and was expected to have a breakout season in 2022.

The Saints Will Have to Rely on Ingram and Kamara

The Saints will now have to rely on Ingram and Kamara to carry the load at running back. Ingram is a veteran who has had success in the NFL, while Kamara is a rising star who is still developing. However, neither player has been as productive as Moss this season, and it remains to be seen if they can fill his void. The Saints will also need to consider adding another running back to their, but there are not many free agents available at this point in the season.
