Saints Cut Clint Ingram

Danny Cox

Just as soon as he was allowed to join the team, he's shown the door.

The New Orleans Saints released linebacker Clint Ingram who was just able to join the team for practice after coming off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list Monday. Ingram signed a one-year deal with the Saints in May after formerly playing with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ingram has not practiced at all with the team as he has been recovering from April knee surgery ever since he signed with the Saints. No full explanation has been given for his release, but it can be thought that he still has not fully recovered from surgery or couldn't pass the team physical.

Safety Darren Sharper also was eligible to return to the team this week from the PUP list.

Man I had some high hopes for Ingram. Too bad.

Hey Clint. So, the knee is feeling better now?....That's good. Pack your stuff and get out. Thanks.

Payton said Ingram wasn't as far along from his injury as they thought he'd be. But he could be a consideration in the future.

jeffduncantp: Payton said Ingram was not making the progress physically. Praised his effort in the rehab. Said his recovery was longer than expected.

All I can say is this must mean they are happy with our LB's. If they happy, me happy.

Doesn't have to mean that. As i under stand it a decision has to be made after 6 weeks to either IR the guy, play him or cut him. If he's not ready now but might be in a month there's no use in IR:ing him but he can't stay on the roster while getting healthy either.

Clark has played well everywhere he's been. There must be something I'm missing about him because he's been bouncing around...
