Saints' Will Harris: Picks off Young in blowout win
Harris finished Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers with two tackles and one interception.
Harris picked off the first pass attempt from quarterback Bryce Young on a throw intended for Diontae Johnson, and that turnover led to a 57-yard field goal from Blake Grupe four plays later. Even with the Saints leading by a large margin in the second half, Harris finished the game as the only New Orleans defender to play all 55 defensive snaps. The 2019 third-round pick and the Saints' secondary will face a much tougher challenge in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Saints' Jordan Howden: First interception of career Sunday
Howden registered three tackles (one solo) and one interception in Sunday's 47-10 win over Carolina.
Howden picked off quarterback Bryce Young on the fourth play of the third quarter on a pass intended for Adam Thielen. It was the first interception of Howden's career, and that turnover led to an Alvin Kamara one-yard touchdown run nine plays later. Howden played 44 of the Saints' 59 defensive snaps, as New Orleans rested most of its starters in the second half with a comfortable lead. Howden and the Saints' secondary have a much tougher challenge coming up as they travel to Dallas to face Dak Prescott and the Cowboys in Week 2.

Saints' Tyrann Mathieu: Recovers fumble vs. Panthers
Mathieu registered four solo tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.
Mathieu punched the ball out of Jonathan Mingo's hands in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and the former was able to recover the fumble, leading to a 52-yard field goal by Blake Grupe seven plays later. Mathieu registered all four of his tackles in the first half and finished the game playing just 25 defensive snaps, but that was due to game script and the Saints' large lead. The 2013 third-round pick will see a much tougher challenge against Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys in Week 2.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Dealing with minor injury
Lattimore's hamstring injury suffered in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers is considered to be minor, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Lattimore left the game in the second half and was unable to return. His status for Sunday against the Cowboys will likely remain in question throughout the week, despite the injury being considered minor. If he is ultimately unable to play, Kool-Aid McKinstry will likely be called upon to draw a start at corner.

Saints' Alontae Taylor: Notches three sacks from secondary
Taylor recorded a career-high three sacks among his six total tackles and also broke up a pass in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.
Heading into Sunday, Taylor had notched just one sack over his first 30 NFL games, but Saints head coach and defensive play caller Dennis Allen dialed up blitzes from the third-year slot corner early and often. Taylor made most of his pass rushes and became the first player designated as a cornerback to record three sacks in a single game, according to Pro-Football-Reference.com. The 25-year-old shouldn't be expected to come close to replicating his Week 1 performance over the rest of the season, but if Allen continues to make a concerted effort to deploy him as a blitzer, Taylor should easily lead all defensive backs in sacks. The Chiefs' Trent McDuffie paced all cornerbacks with three sacks in 2023.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Makes toe-tap TD grab Sunday
Johnson gathered two of three targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 47-10 victory versus the Panthers.
Johnson had one of the standout plays of the game when he made a toe-tapping 16-yard touchdown catch in the right corner of the end zone. The 6-foot-4 pass catcher actually wound up with fewer targets and receptions than fellow tight end Foster Moreau, who caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown before exiting with a head injury. Johnson totaled 34 more targets despite playing two fewer games than Moreau last season, and the former was assumed to be the TE1 heading into the season opener. Meanwhile, versatile tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill worked more as a rushing threat out of the backfield Sunday, logging five carries and two targets. Moreau's status is also now up in the air for next Sunday's road game versus Dallas. When he is healthy again, it will be worth monitoring how Moreau, Johnson and Hill are deployed under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak moving forward.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Handles rushing-centric role Week 1
Hill recorded five carries for 35 yards and caught one of his two targets for one yard during Sunday's 47-10 win versus the Panthers.
Hill worked as the Saints' secondary rushing option to start the game, logging a two-yard carry on their second play from scrimmage. The 34-year-old finished with four carries and one target in the first quarter, and his playing time dwindled as the game got out of hand down the stretch. Backup running back Jamaal Williams logged more carries (11), but most of his touches came later in the second half when the game was essentially decided. Hill's early usage in the rushing game Sunday is a likely indicator of what his role could be under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak this season. It will be worth monitoring if/how his deployment changes when New Orleans faces what should be a much tougher road matchup versus Dallas on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Saints' Jamaal Williams: Scores in garbage time
Williams notched 11 carries for 38 yards and one touchdown and caught his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 47-10 win against the Panthers.
Williams logged the final touchdown of the game with a 14-yard score early in the fourth quarter. The 29-year-old brusier primarily helped salt away this blowout win for New Orleans, as he recorded just three carries for 11 yards in the first half. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara shouldered the bulk of the workload when the game was still in hand, totaling 15 carries for 83 yards, and Taysom Hill logged four carries for 28 yards in the first half. Hill is expected to be an even bigger part of the rushing game this season with new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, as the 34-year-old spent increased time working with the Saints' running backs and fullbacks during training camp and the preseason. So long as Kamara and Hill remain healthy, expect them to handle the primary rushing duties for the Saints.

Saints' Chris Olave: Quiet in Sunday's rout
Olave caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 47-10 rout of the Panthers.
The third-year wideout's numbers were a significant disappointment considering the final score, but Derek Carr's three first-half touchdowns went to Rashid Shaheed, Foster Moreau (head) and Juwan Johnson, and the Saints didn't need to pass the ball in the second half with a massive lead. The overall performance of the Saints' offense was still encouraging for Olave's numbers in the long run, and he should still be locked in as the team's top receiver. Olave will likely be a much bigger part of the game plan in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Hauls in long TD in win
Shaheed caught three of five targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.
The third-year wideout was on the other end of a 59-yard TD pass from Derek Carr in the first quarter, accounting for most of his team high in receiving yards. Shaheed was expected to assume a bigger role in the Saints' offense this year under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, and the early returns were excellent. Shaheed will take on a much stingier secondary in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Piles up yardage in big win
Kamara carried the ball 15 times for 83 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.
The veteran running back didn't get the contract extension he was looking for ahead of the season opener, but Kamara didn't let that affect his performance on the field. He capped his big day with a one-yard TD plunge in the third quarter. Kamara hasn't posted better than 4.0 yards per carry in a season since 2020, but if the Saints' offense is able to keep putting up numbers against tougher opponents, he could be headed for a bounce-back campaign. Kamara will face a much sterner test in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Saints' Derek Carr: Nearly perfect in Sunday's rout
Carr completed 19 of 23 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 47-10 rout of the Panthers. He added 13 rushing yards on two carries.
The Saints absolutely dismantled the visitors, scoring on their first nine drives of the game before finally being forced to punt midway through the fourth quarter. Carr led the way with one of the most efficient performances of his career, hitting Rashid Shaheed for a 59-yard score on New Orleans' first possession before finding Foster Moreau (head) for a three-yard TD late in the first quarter and Juwan Johnson for a 16-yard touchdown just before halftime. Carr's first season with the team was viewed as a disappointment, but new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is off to a flying start in reshaping the attack. However, the unit will face a much tougher test in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Suffers head injury Sunday
Moreau won't return to Sunday's game versus the Panthers due to a head injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Moreau made a visit to the sideline tent in the fourth quarter before the Saints made a ruling on his status. He'll thus finish Week 1 with four catches (on four targets) for 43 yards and one touchdown. His target count surprisingly was ahead of fellow TEs Juwan Johnson (three) and Taysom Hill (two), but assuming he entered the concussion protocol, Moreau will need to complete its five steps in order to be cleared for his next game action.
