Saints' Martin Emerson: Uncertain for Sunday
Emerson (shin) is questionable to suit up for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Browns.
Emerson was a limited participant in each of New Orleans' first two practices this week due to a shin injury. However, he downgraded to non-participation Friday and was given a tag of questionable for Sunday. Should Emerson not be able to play against Cleveland, Quincy Riley would likely return to a starting role.

Saints' Martin Emerson: Picks off two passes in victory
Emerson recorded seven solo tackles and four passes defensed, including two interceptions, during Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.
Emerson was all over the field in Week 6, finishing second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Pete Werner (11). The cornerback was thrust into a more prominent role in the secondary after Kool-Aid McKinstry was forced out of the game with a migraine, and Emerson definitely didn't disappoint. He was able to reel in a pair of interceptions, picking off Jameis Winston in the third quarter before jumping in front of a pass from J.J. McCarthy one quarter later.

Emerson suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 2 win over the Ravens, subsequently resulting in him missing the Week 3 meeting with the Raiders. However, with Emerson logging a full session to begin the practice week ahead of Monday's clash with the Cardinals, it appears he will be back on the field for that one.

Saints' Martin Emerson: Won't play against Las Vegas
Emerson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Emerson injured his shoulder during the Saints' Week 2 win over the Ravens. He drew the questionable tag for Week 3 following a limited practice Friday, but he'll be sidelined for Sunday's game after failing to be cleared by medical staff following pregame warmups.

Saints' Martin Emerson: Questionable against Raiders
Emerson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Raiders.
Emerson suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's win over the Ravens and has since been labeled "day-to-day."

If Emerson isn't available against Las Vegas, the door is open for more involvement from Jayden Price and Michael Reid.

Emerson left during the first half of the Saints' win in Week 2 after hurting his shoulder, but it appears not to be too serious of an issue. New Orleans' first official injury report of the week Wednesday should shed more light on his potential availability for Week 3.

Emerson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Saints' Martin Emerson: Headed to New Orleans
The Saints signed Emerson on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Emerson worked out with the team earlier in the day and seemingly impressed enough to earn a contract. The 25-year-old has spent the entirety of his three-year career with Cleveland, totaling 202 tackles (158 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four interceptions across 50 games. With the Saints lacking proven talent at cornerback, Emerson could have a chance to start alongside Kool-Aid McKinstry during the 2026 campaign.

The Mississippi State product was sidelined for the entire 2025 campaign due to a torn Achilles, but he's now visited with the Texans and Saints in April, suggesting he's moved past the issue. Emerson was a crucial part of the Browns' defense from 2022 to 2023, appearing in 33 regular-season games and logging 122 total tackles and 29 passes defensed, including four interceptions.

Browns' Martin Emerson: Becomes unrestricted FA
Emerson (Achilles) becomes an unrestricted free agent when the offseason begins in March, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Emerson, who hoped to earn a contract extension this season, missed all of 2025 after tearing an Achilles last July. After two strong years upon his arrival as a third-round pick in 2022, Emerson experienced a regression in 2024 before suffering the injury. There hasn't been much news regarding the cornerback's recovery, although other players with a similar injury typically required six to eight months. That puts Emerson in line to be ready for offseason activities.
