CHRIS IVORY TO IR! Edit: Released from IR and cut
 

Adam Caplan's Twitter account

@caplannfl: Saints placed RB Chris Ivory on IR. that should mean that Joique Bell makes the Saints roster.

I'm excited for Bell.

Too bad for Ivory but luckily Ingram is more than capable of filling his role. Looks like this will always be the problem with Ivory... he just can't stay healthy.

Shame ..Oh well welcome aboard Bell...Ivory get well dude..we need ya next year..for our 3dat!

Thanks for the red BREAKING NEWS thing. I don't know how to do that.

I wonder, why not PUP, which gives us 9 weeks to decide to keep him active or IR him in week 9? What if we lose 3 RB's in the 1st 6 weeks? He could have been insurance.

I'm not sure it's an option for you guys... which is probably why when biloxi-indian post something, he always uses NEWS. In order for me to get it on the front page, I have to switch it to BREAKING NEWS.

We probably feel real comfortable with what we have. Let's say he comes back and Bell is playing well, who would we cut? I think it's the best for all parties. He earns his salary while getting the whole season and offseason to get his body right.

IIRC, You can place him on IR at that time.

Yep...gone!

New Orleans Saints place RB Chris Ivory on injured reserve, gone for season - New Orleans New Orleans Saints | Examiner.com

Is there a limit to the amount of players on the PUP? Well nevermind, in the cut list I don't see anyone on it anyways. I see your point... maybe he's hurt more than we realize.

I think having Bell made this easier..Like Papz said he needs the time to heal up...was Cobbs IRd also?

I got this excerpt off rotoworld.

Ivory reported to training camp still rehabbing last year's Lisfranc fracture, and promptly needed sports hernia surgery. He was eligible for the PUP list after not practicing in August, so it can't be a good sign that the Saints moved to end Ivory's season when they could've reevaluated after a couple of months.

Pretty much what was in Danny's article.

Yup this was an easy decision with Bell's performance. IMO, Bell has looked better than any other RB on the roster at this point. He has a great combination of speed, power, and vision.

Good luck to Chris. I like that bruising style, but it's a hard-sell in the NFL.

I agree Bell has been the best RB so far...i hope he stays healthy as well..catches good out of the backfield and picks up blocks good..good player all the way around..I know Eddie George was raving about him last night..

I agree Bell looks good, but he needs to hold on to the damn ball!

I think he did ..wasn't it Cobbs who fumbled?

As I wrote that I second-guessed myself... So, not really sure now. Either way, still needs to hold on to the damn ball!

Bell is fine....It's Ivory that needs to hold on to the football...NEXT year! His fumble vs. the Falcons, was a big momentum changer.

Just read they released Ivory from IR and cut him.

He's been cut and can sign anywhere.

More from @caplannfl: Waived RB Chris Ivory from IR w: injury settlement.

He can now go wherever he wants. But could return to N.O. too.

RT @SaintBrian9: @LHolderCBS wait so that means ivory is gone?

LHolderCBS Larry Holder - Yes.

I'm sorry to see an enthusiastic runner like ivory get released. My bet is that no one will pick him up until after week 1, which means no garranteed contract. I hope he plays for buffalo or Kansas city. Someone we don't face.

I give up.

No ****..i posted a link from NOLA that says he was waived..i think were getting some bogus news..

So what the Hell? Is he cut? on IR? Pup list, I'm just catching wind of this and y'all got me so spun around.
I'm lost

Welcome to the club. I'm just gonna wait till they officially announce the moves tomorrow.

Yasinkas on ESPN says he's on IR. Who the hell knows...

Caplan now insists his info is correct - Ivory to PUP.

This would make the most sense...too much talent to let go...so 6 weeks and he's back..if this is correct..lol

Canal Street Chronicles - For New Orleans Saints Fans

This says PUP as well..:confused:

Whether or not he could be put on PUP would depend on whether or not he reported and was in camp -- does anybody know, did he ever make an appearance? I don't remember. If he was in camp, or played in preseason, he can't be on PUP.

Putting him on injured Reserve would mean, he is still a Saint, they can tuck him away, no one else can sign him, but that they probably like what they've seen from Bell a bit better at the moment.

Would have liked to have a Bruiser Back with Ivory but i'd rather backs that know how to stay healthy and are quick to recover from injuries.. Chris was great and i really wanted to see him make it but man.. dude has the Reggie Bush disease with injuries.

Bell made Ivory redundant. Tey had similar looks & styles.
