Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)

Delvin Breaux - New Orleans Saints - 2016 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com

ESPN's Mike Triplett says CB Delvin Breaux (broken leg) is ahead of schedule in his recovery.
Breaux was expected to miss six weeks after going down in the opener. He has a chance to beat that timetable, with a possible return after the Saints' Week 5 bye a best case scenario. Sterling Moore and Ken Crawley will start against San Diego. Sep 30 - 7:04 PM

But since "injuries are no excuse" this probably isn't good news to some.

But to the rest of us who don't live in clicheville, this is awesome!!!

Yesterday the Saints snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and now this!

Nothing would make me happier. I'm pretty sure the Breaux injury singlehandedly derailed our season he's that important.

Good to hear, will remain cautiously optimistic.

Not just Breaux, but also Lewis, PJ Williams, Swann, Wilson, Kikaha, and Rankins.

They were all key players we were counting on to move our defense into the middle of the pack.

Did you say Cliche'? "Are you interested or are you Committed?" then again "It is what it is"

Terrific news on Breaux ...

If I'm the Saints, I'd be extremely, extremely careful on when 1st rounder (Rankins) returns. Especially considering how much promise he has already displayed in training camp & future potential difference maker on D. Definitely want to be 100%.

Think long term for both DB and SR.

We need both of these young fellas but we shouldn't rush them back. I'd rather have them play the rest of the season than rush them back a week ahead of time, just so they can reinjure themselves and miss more time.

Learn the Lesson of JJ Watt, Young Grasshopper.

Cliches? Sounds like Breaux has "ants in his pants" to "put the past behind him." Injuries have been our "achilles heel," but let's not "tempt fate" and "count our chickens before they hatch." We've put the "cart before the horse" in the preseason but once we get healthy, we'll "have the whole enchilada." "Every dog has his day," and we'll make everyone "eat crow" soon enough.

"Hats off" to Breaux though, hope he "keeps his nose to the grindstone."
