Saints plan for Martin Emerson as outside cornerback for 2026

Martin Emerson is set to work as an outside cornerback for the New Orleans Saints as they prepare for the 2026 season, following his recovery from a torn Achilles. The team is adopting a cautious approach to Emerson's rehabilitation after the injury impacted his 2025 season. During the first week of OTAs, he was primarily positioned on the outside, indicating the Saints' intentions for his role in the defense. Emerson, at 25, has shown potential to enhance the secondary once healthy, contributing significantly to the team's efforts in coverage against larger receivers.
