Saints release linebacker Rodgers

The Saints released linebacker Derrick Rodgers on Friday, ending his two-year relationship with the team.

Rodgers, who experienced a season-ending back injury last November, was waived injured, which entitles him to an injury benefit.

An eight-year veteran, he had surgery in February to repair a bulging disc in his back, but he was not healthy enough to compete in offseason practice sessions.

The team did not think he would be ready for training camp, which begins Friday.
