New Orleans Saints receiver Marques Colston suffered a separated shoulder in Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to the NFL Network.

Colston was slated to undergo an MRI exam on Monday to see if there is structural damage to the shoulder. There isn’t yet a timetable for how long he will be sidelined.

Colston was sporting a sling after Sunday’s contest.

The Saints host the unbeaten Atlanta Falcons on Thursday.
