Saints CB Paulson Adebo suffered an apparent right leg injury and was carted off the field with an air cast on.
Saints second-round rookie CB Kool-Aid McKinstry will take his place in the starting lineup.
Adebo, 25, was a two-year starter at Stanford who was named second-team All-American as a redshirt freshman and was first-team All-PAC 12 both years as a starter. He opted out of the 2020 season due to the pandemic.
Adebo is in the final year of a four-year rookie deal worth $5,045,008 that includes a signing bonus of $1,029,097.
