Saints rule out Elliss, Granderson vs Falcons

The Saints ruled out Elliss on Saturday after he missed practice all week with a calf injury. The linebacker, who spent three seasons with the Falcons before joining the Saints this offseason, has 24 tackles this season. Granderson was also ruled out with an ankle injury. The team could be missing a third starter as Pete Werner is questionable with a shoulder injury. Reserve linebacker Anfernee Jennings (knee) is also out and tight end Noah Fant (abdomen) is questionable. afnews.co.za
