The hits just keep coming for the New Orleans Saints. Starting middle linebacker Alex Anzalone was placed on the injured reserve list Monday afternoon, possibly ending his season. Field Yates of ESPN first reported Anzalone’s condition, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network added that Anzalone may be able to return to the active roster later this year.
Back in 2017, the NFL amended its injured reserve rules to allow teams to bring back two different players from the reserve list after spending eight weeks on the sidelines. They have six weeks to rest from the date of landing on I.
