Even if Sean Payton was at the Saints Hall of Fame Game Sunday (he won’t be), he wouldn’t be able to see a full team.

The Saints will be without starting cornerbacks Jabari Greer and Patrick Robinson for Sunday’s exhbition opener.

Greer’s still on the shelf after sports hernia surgery, which Robinson’s missed this week with a shoulder injury suffered Sunday.

Saints interim coach Joe Vitt also said rookie wide receiver Nick Toon would also miss the game with a left foot injury, saying it would be “anywhere from six to 10 days” before he’d return.

The Cardinals will be down a bit as well, as running back Ryan Williams isn’t ready for game action yet.
