Saints place Delvin Breaux on injured reserve; could return midseason
 

The New Orleans Saints placed cornerback Delvin Breaux on injured reserve Monday as he recovers from a broken fibula, meaning he will miss at least the first seven games.

NFL teams are allowed to bring back up to two players who are placed on injured reserve during the season. But they can’t practice for a minimum of six weeks and can’t play for a minimum of eight weeks. The Saints have a bye in Week 5.

The Saints re-signed veteran offensive tackle Bryce Harris to fill Breaux’s roster spot.

The Saints also added defensive tackle David Parry to their practice squad Monday after he spent the past two years as a starter for the Indianapolis Colts.

Parry (6-foot-2, 317 pounds) was a fifth-round draft pick out of Stanford in 2015, and he started every game over the past two years, with a total of 78 tackles and four sacks.

I thought Breaux would be one of our best. I know he's frustrated but he needs to keep his mouth shut no more than ever or he won't make it back in Week 9 and coach will see to that!

Why Bryce Harris? I know there are better lineman available than Harris.

What about Kuhn?

we must have a handshake deal with Kuhn. I'm guessing his locker has not been cleaned out.

the Parry signing is intriguing... 32 starts and now PS?

Seems like Parry will need to stay out of trouble whilst on our practice squad

Expected. Delvin, get well. We need you.

Agreed. If he can, a potential beast of a player clogging up the lanes.

A healthy Breaux and Armstead down the stretch would be huge.
