The New Orleans Saints announced Thursday that receiver Joseph Morgan was placed on the reserve/suspended list and replaced by tight on Tom Crabtree on the 53-man roster. Coach Sean Payton declined to elaborate on the reason, and none has been revealed yet.

It appears as though it may have been a team suspension and not a league suspension, though that has not been confirmed. The move did not appear on the NFL’s transaction wire as of Tuesday.

Morgan, 26, has not played in a game since Week 1 (he’s been inactive five times this season). But when asked why during the course of the season, Morgan always insisted that there wasn’t any disciplinary reason for it. As Morgan has said, the Saints typically only use four receivers on game days, and the Saints had him below Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks, Kenny Stills and Robert Meachem in the pecking order.

Saints RB Mark Ingram (hand, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Ingram suffered the injury in the 1st half and played the rest of the game. He had surgery on his hand to put two screws above his thumb. Khiry Robinson gets a big bump, but Pierre Thomas and Brandin Cooks could also see a few extra touches to replace Ingram.

Khiry Robinson gets a big bump, but Pierre Thomas and Brandin Cooks could also see a few extra touches to replace Ingram.

Saints WR Brandin Cooks led all Saints WRs in snaps in Week 2.

Brandin Cooks had 14 more snaps than Marques Colston who wasn't targeted in the game. Cooks had 55 to Colston's 41. It wasn't a great day for Saint WRs though as non had more than three catches. Robert Meachem led the way with 37 yards. Cooks played the most but had just 17 yards. He did have two rushes for 31 yards. As long as Jimmy Graham remains a target, Saint WRs will have a lot of up and down weeks.

In the running game, Pierre Thomas led the way with 26 snaps to Mark Ingram's 20. Ingram had another big day with 11 rushes for 83 yards and a TD. Both backs had three catches.

Saints WR Kenny Stills (quadricep, probable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is probable for Week 2. The probable tag means that Stills should make his return in Week 2. He will likely play alongside Marques Colston and Brandin Cooks in three-wide sets, replacing Joe Morgan in the lineup.

WR Brandin Cooks' NFL debut was just as impressive on tape. His best catch was his first, when he went up in the air to snag a 32-yard pass, even though he was about to get drilled by cornerback Desmond Trufant. And as expected, the Saints used Cooks in a variety of ways. He had the end-around run; he caught a screen pass when he was lined up in the backfield; he caught a receiver screen behind two tight ends; he went in motion on the interception play; he scored a touchdown on a pick play when he was lined up the farthest left in a trips formation; he also lined up in the middle of the trips formation and on the solo side at times.

Cooks was used early and often in Week 1 and that should continue, though the dynamic may change a bit when Kenny Stills returns from a quad injury.

Saints QB Drew Brees said it’s evident the kind of difference-maker WR Brandin Cooks can be.

“He’s impressive,” Brees said. “He can do a lot of things. He’s a very smart player. He’s intense, when he’s out there, it’s business. He can do a lot of things for us.

“We’re really excited about him as we go along here, continuing to build packages around him and give him opportunities. Brandin can do some things. He’s explosive.”

Likewise, Cooks sees where there will be myriad opportunities for him to thrive in the Saints' offense. He was one of four players Sunday with at least five receptions and 58 receiving yards.

Although it was probably best to wait-and-see how Cooks was used before putting him in lineups, it's safe to say he'll be inserted starting Week 2. There will likely be up and down weeks for Cooks, however, as there are just too many targets in the Saints lineup. Kenny Stills was out of the lineup which certainly helped Cooks' targets and playing time. He was second among WRs in snaps behind Marques Colston.
