Saints HC Sean Payton announced Thursday that CB Delvin Breaux will remain on their injured reserve for the duration of the 2017 season.
This shouldn’t come as a big surprise, as reports from last week mentioned that Breaux suffered a setback during practice that was going to make it difficult for him to be activated this year.
Breaux’s timeline for return was reportedly 3-6 weeks, so it’s not as though the Saints could have afforded to keep him on their active roster during this time.
Saints actually designated Breaux as one of their two players to return from injured reserve a few weeks ago, which opened a three-week window of time for the team to add him to their active roster.
