Mark Ingram is expected to miss at least one month with a broken hand he suffered Sunday, a source told ESPN.

Ingram had his hand/wrist area taped by trainers during the first half of Sunday's game but remained in the contest after that and continued to thrive. A source confirmed that Ingram suffered the injury in the first half. He finished with 11 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown, plus three catches for 21 yards.

The Saints are fortunate to have proven depth in their backfield, with Pierre Thomas, Khiry Robinson and Travaris Cadet still available.
