Absolutely awful. Feel terrible for him. That’s going to be a major loss for us.

Re: Saints think star DT Sheldon Rankins tore Achilles tendon
And at this point of the season, Rankins will likely be lost for most, if not all, of the 2019 season...
Onyemata, time to step up - hope that Mitchell Loewen move doesn't bite us in the arse... |

Major loss but the Saints have quality DEPTH on the D line. Saints can still get this done. David O and T Davison are no slouches.
Trust and believe. |

All of a sudden 3-tech DT becomes a big offseason need.
