SAINTS INGRAM BANNED

The Saints will be without one half of their dynamic running-back duo for the first quarter of the 2018 season — and the Giants will be beneficiaries. Mark Ingram has been suspended for the first four games of next season for violating the NFL’s PED policy, the league announced. Ingram can participate in offseason workouts and the preseason but won’t be eligible to play in the regular season until Week 5. The Giants host the Saints in Week 4 on Sept. 30.
