Colston has separated shoulder

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston (12) makes a catch against the defense of Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Byron Maxwell (31) throughout the 3rd quarter at Lincoln Monetary Field.

LT Terron Armstead (left knee) missed Sunday’s game, but he returned to practice on a limited basis Tuesday and could return for the Falcons game.

Colston was slated to undergo an MRI exam on Monday to see if there is structural damage to the shoulder.

After sustaining a separated shoulder Sunday in Philadelphia, it’s no surprise that Colston is poised for inactive status on a short week.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) – New Orleans Saints veterans and coach Sean Payton appear committed to putting a fearless face on a 1-4 start that has the Saints ever closer to irrelevance.

The wide receiver is the Saints all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown receptions.
