The New Orleans Saints have confirmed that they will be without safety Roman Harper for their clash with the Arizona Cardinals.
The 30-year-old injured his knee in practice last week but managed to play some part in the Saints' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
However, the injury has worsened this week and has ruled him out of the clash with the Cardinals at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The Saints are 2-0 in their season going into week three.
