Saints put Stephone Anthony on injured reserve

A disappointing second NFL season for Saints linebacker Stephone Anthony has come to an end.



Saints coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that Anthony is being placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury that kept him from playing in their Week 15 victory over the Cardinals. The Saints signed wide receiver Corey Fuller off of the Lions’ practice squad to keep the roster at 53 players.

Anthony was a first-round pick in 2015 and started all 16 games during his rookie season. He only started three games this year and just one of those starts came after the third week of the season as Anthony missed time because of both injuries and ineffectiveness.

Payton said last week, via the New Orleans Times-Picayune, that Anthony has a problem when it comes to diagnosing “some very simple reads.” Anthony said that he thought that critique was fair, leaving him with an obvious area to work on this offseason.

He plays 2% of snaps for 14 weeks.

Plays one full game and goes on IR.

Re: Saints put Stephone Anthony on injured reserve

He's probably not the last to go on IR this year.

We'll probably sign a few more guys in order to have them in our 2017 camp.

Its practice squad poaching time!!!

Probably gonna need a new Mike LB. Looking at upcoming free agents I doubt Dont'a Hightower ever hits the market. Maybe Malcolm Smith or Kevin Minter? Or just roll with Craig Robertson.

I'd add these:

DE - Mario Addison
G - Kevin Zietler
CB - S. Gilmore
CB - Trumaine Johnson

EDIT : Didn't mean to derail the SA thread.

Me to. It's just to get him totally out of the picture. I think he plays the run well especially when Ellerbe is there helping with the ailignments.

We do this every year. It's a smart move by the front office.
