Mandatory Credit: Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images New Orleans Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo underwent surgery Friday morning to repair a broken right femur and will miss the rest of the season, ESPN reported.
He will be sidelined for about four to five months and could have played his final game for New Orleans. He is due to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
Adebo, 25, suffered the injury during Thursday night's 33-10 home loss to the Denver Broncos. He was injured in the second quarter while trying to make a tackle, then carted off the field and taken to a local hospital.
The Saints started the season 2-0 and have lost five straight games as the injuries mount.
Among the Saints who missed Thursday's game were quarterback Derek Carr (oblique), wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) and tight end Taysom Hill (ribs). All-Pro offensive lineman Ryan Ramczyk (knee) is out for the season, as is receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee).
Adebo has three interceptions, 10 passes defensed and 52 tackles in seven starts on the season. In his career, he has 254 tackles and 10 picks in 52 games (51 starts) since New Orleans drafted him in the third round in 2021.
