Saints’ Delvin Breaux suffers setback in return and won’t play in Week 9, report says

The New Orleans Saints may or may not have cornerback Delvin Breaux in 2017 from the sounds of it. The Advocate’s Nick Underhill initially reported on Saturday afternoon that the third-year cornerback won’t be making his return against the Buccaneers in Week 9. But then, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that Breaux suffered a setback in practice, and has an injury that could take 3-6 weeks to heal.

The team has a big decision to make on Breaux, who had a broken fibula to start the season, as they have until next week to activate him to the 53-man roster after he started practicing two weeks ago.
