In a surprising move, Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton has been declared a healthy scratch for today's game against the Browns. Tipton had been a significant part of the Saints' passing game, running routes on 83% of pass plays and accumulating 14 targets over the last four weeks. With Tipton out, the Saints will rely on a mix of receivers including Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Cedrick Wilson, Kevin Austin, and Dante Pettis.
- Mason Tipton's absence could impact the Saints' passing game dynamics.
- The Saints are opting for a less experienced receiving corps for this matchup.
