The team departed for Cleveland today as they continue to prep for their Saturday game in Cleveland against the 6-8 Browns.

Unfortunately, the Saints will be shorthanded for this one, as some of their best players have officially been ruled out against the Browns due to injury.

With multiple players on injured reserve, including starting guard Cesar Ruiz who was placed on IR earlier this week, the Saints will also be without standout rookie wide receiver Chris Olave, veteran wide receiver Jarvis Landry, starting linebacker Pete Werner, and backup running back/special teamer Dwayne Washington.

Although Landry is listed among active players, he was placed on IR following today's practice.

In addition those four, five other Saints are listed as questionable on today's final injury/practice report of the week.
