Alex Anzalone has been through this before.

The promise, the flash of ability, the season-ending injury to his right shoulder.

For a player whose career at Florida was stunted by repeated injuries to that same right shoulder, the dislocation Anzalone suffered in the fourth game of his rookie season with the Saints could be seen as an indicator that the joint will always be a liability.

Anzalone believes this time is different. Back in action after undergoing surgery to repair the damage done by the dislocation he suffered against Miami in London, Anzalone is confident the shoulder has been repaired.

"It was fixed really well this time," Anzalone said. "My arm fully dislocated, but it was fixed differently."

Anzalone opted not to offer a full medical breakdown of his injury after Thursday's organized team activity, but his shoulder problems at Florida stemmed from issues with the initial repair done to the joint as a freshman. ...

Saints getting healthier, Darren Rizzi to make debut as interim head coach

NEW ORLEANS — Darren Rizzi says it is his goal to become an NFL head coach. He's now got eight games to show what he can do as the Saints interim coach. Injuries and a roster that had no depth, play a role in Dennis Allen getting fired and Rizzi has to battle through the same issues.

His team could get a little healthier for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Rizzi was named interim head coach on Monday after the Saints fired Allen following the team's seven-game losing streak.

The Saints started practicing under Rizzi on Wednesday.

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons finished up their second practices on Thursday ahead of their NFC South matchup. The Saints opened the 21-day practice window for center Erik McCoy, who hasn't played since week three. Safety Will Harris’s window was also opened on Wednesday as he was limited and has been upgraded to full on Thursday.

The Falcons only made one change to Thursday’s injury report which was upgrading linebacker Matthew Judon from DNP to a full participant as he missed Wednesday with an illness.

Saints' most important offensive starter returns after early-season injury

This could be big. The New Orleans Saints haven’t won a game since Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy got hurt back in Week 3, which put him on injured reserve after undergoing groin muscle surgery. But their most important offensive starter returned to practice on Thursday, at least on a limited basis.

It’s still probably too soon for McCoy to get back into a game; his initial timeline had him returning to the lineup after the bye week. There’s a chance he could return sooner, and opening his 21-day practice window may indicate he’ll be back sooner rather than later.

Saints share some good news on Week 10 injury report update

There were two big changes to the New Orleans Saints injury report ahead of Week 10’s game with the Atlanta Falcons. Two starters on injured reserve returned to practice, one of them receiving an upgrade to full reps — safety Will Harris (hamstring). Another, center Erik McCoy (groin), practiced on a limited basis. McCoy’s return is likely a week away or more but that’s a big step in the right direction.

Other than that, it’s more of the same. Wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) still didn’t participate. Neither did cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry...

For the NFC South, Week 9 seemed like a potential season-defining week. The Saints needed a big win against the Panthers to turn around the season, the Buccaneers needed to catch up with the Falcons, and the Falcons could further solidify their top spot in the NFC South.

Regular Season record 2-7

The Panthers’ season has been disappointing, and before Week 9, their play landed Carolina the title of worst team in the NFL. I say before Week 9 because the Panthers upset the New Orleans Saints in a 23-22 battle for last place. No one, including myself, believed Carolina could win this game...

Report: Dennis Allen 'had a lot to do with' RB's second stint on injured reserve

No one is more frustrated than Kendre Miller with his injury situation — after all, it’s his own body getting damaged and holding back his career. But former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen’s frustrations boiled over. Not long after Miller returned from injured reserve with a hamstring injury, he exited another game after injuring the hamstring in his other leg.

It was described as a minor injury, expected to sideline him for a week or two. But this report from LouisianaSports.Net’s Ross Jackson says Allen “had a lot to do with” the decision to sideline Miller on injured...
