Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith will be placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. The injury helps to explain the club’s signing of Dez Bryant, which will be formally completed on Thursday. 
Meredith is no stranger to the IR list after tearing his ACL and MCL before the 2017 season. This time around, the knee injury is not believed to be as serious, but it’s enough to rule him out for the year.
Meredith has not been involved in the Saints’ offense outside of Weeks 3-5, though he’s dressed for the last few weeks. When he was on the field, Meredith had nine catches for 114 yards and a touchdown.
The 26-year-old’s injury opened the door for rookie Tre’Quan Smith, who has flashed some serious potential. Smith figures to play a big role on Sunday behind Michael Thomas since Bryant is not a lock to suit up against the Bengals, but the power balance may shift towards the veteran later in the year.
The Saints are left with four healthy wide receivers after losing Meredith and adding Bryant, so another signing is possible.
Maybe they bring Kerley, Aiken, and Marshall all in again. Maybe Carr gets a little more slot time, or Kamara goes there, with Ingram in the backfield. I’m sure Sean Peyton will Frankenstein something.
Hill anyone?
Deuce McAllister? Reggie Bush?
At least Hill is on the Roster and Peyton has shown a willingness to use him everywhere.
Hill dropped one the only balls thrown his way…he was wide open too
Like I said, I’m sure Peyton is in the lab cooking something up
