Good News: He was merely adequate.
Bad News: Adequate was an upgrade.

Another veteran defensive back who made a significant contribution to the Saints’ secondary in 2015 will not be available in 2016.

Veteran cornerback Kyle Wilson, who carved out a role in both the nickel and as a free safety after injuries hit the cornerback position last year, was placed on injured reserve Friday.

New Orleans also placed safety Jamarca Sanford on injured reserve earlier this week.

Wilson made 25 tackles, broke up four passes and picked off a pass against the Colts last season.

With Wilson out, New Orleans will likely turn to young corners P.J. Williams, Damian Swann and Brian Dixon to fill the nickel role.

New Orleans filled Wilson’s spot on the roster by signing veteran defensive tackle C.J. Wilson to provide additional depth on the line.

Wilson, who spent last season with Detroit and also has stints in Green Bay and Oakland to his name, has 6.5 career sacks.

Used mostly as a block-eater, Wilson made eight tackles and a sack last season.

And so another opportunity arises...

That stinks. Not a position where we want to start losing depth.

Re: Saints place veteran cornerback Kyle Wilson on IR, sign veteran defensive tackle
 

Exactly. Was looking forward to our deepest competition at the position in years...

He had really turned the corner here in New Orleans (Pardon Pun)...

Don't really see it as that big of a set back.

Wilson was a slightly average contributor in the slot, nothing more. Probably 4th or 5th on the depth chart. Don't sleep on DAllen using Vonn Bell in at corner (played some at The Ohio St).

PJ and Brian Dixon ... it's time to step up.

Hey, didn't realize Danno had already started a thread on Kyle Wilson's Reserve Injured assignment; could one of you with the special pixie dust move the thread I started into this one...Thank You

Sorry 'bout doing that...
