Saints placed S Steve Gleason on injured reserve, ending his season.

Gleason is recovering from microfracture surgery. The veteran special teams ace could struggle to find work in 2008, when he'll be a risky free agent.

Despite a report that Saints special teamer Steve Gleason would have minor knee surgery on Tuesday, he underwent a microfracture procedure.

He'll be out at least eight weeks and is a strong candidate for the PUP list or possibly even I.R. Gleason had been entering a contract year in 2007.

Saints special teamer Steve Gleason will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday.

This won't help the special teams ace's chances of making the team. The Saints will know more about his recovery timetable after the surgery, which suggests it could be more serious than an arthroscopy.

Uh, oh. "Gleason had been entering a contract year in 2007. "

He missed all 16 games last year, not a great contract year, he could be gone.

I'll miss him. He was our ST captain, and I loved the game a couple years ago when he was ejected for a punch he delivered while getting up from the ground. A leader!
