Morgan was expected to be the team's No. 3 wide receiver this season behind Marques Colston and Lance Moore. Colston returned to practice earlier this week after missing time with a foot injury. Nick Toon will likely see a bump in playing time because of Morgan's injury.
Fantasy Impact: Morgan would have been an intriguing player for fantasy owners heading into Draft Day because of his speed and his role in the New Orleans offense.
Fantasy owners should expect to see Colston, Moore, Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles catching passes in New Orleans until someone else emerges.
