Tanoh Kpassagnon has torn achilles

The new league rules allow for a player to be placed on injured reserve prior to the final cutdown and that player is eligible to return during the season and/or the playoffs as one of eight players who may return from IR. So, if the Saints choose not to reach an injury settlement with Tanoh they have that option. With that said, we are at the end of May. Depending on the severity of the injury his recovery may still allow him to return to the team at some point this season.
