That’s one IR possibly.. funny there were reports of him getting cut after he got pushed down to second team. He was unhappy making cryptic post on social media.

Typo lol *fixed now

There was talk of Bresee doing additional conditioning work so that he could handle more playing time, and he'll now get more snaps. An opportunity for increased reps for Boyd too.

So Saunders eats 1 IR spot. Saldiveri and Miller are the choices for the next spot. I think Miller may just get cut. OL depth > Miller.

Wouldn’t expect the team to IR a guy on a two week injury timeline.

Is the minimum 4 weeks or 6?

Not sure but Underhill (like others) sometimes isn’t as clear as he could be.

Was Saunders hurt in the game and on a two week timeline? If so, he’s possibly ready for the opener. Regardless, I don’t think the team would IR a player who is potentially ready sometime in weeks 1-3 unless there is some other pressing consideration they have to make.

4 week minimum for IR-to-return. Saunders wouldn’t be eligible if it’s just a couple weeks. Saints will have an off week in between Week 1’s practice week so Saunders could just miss 1 game.

Me either but he lost his starting spot and has openly complained about it. Wouldn’t shock me if he’s traded for a late pick when healthy.

Underhill speculated that he could get cut, not for the social media stuff, but just because he doesn't really have a role on the team with Boyd and the emergence of Breese as a starter. Plus, Vickers has often looked good. Underhill thought maybe they would go with 3 DTs and save a roster spot by using Cam Jordan as a DT in passing situations.

But trading him for a late round pick would certainly be better than cutting him.

Like the person not impressed with the player. Hope he heals up well regardless.

How would the Saints utilize the "Bink" package without Saunders?

Maybe a new package with Kendal Vickers called the "Vicks VapoRub".

I like Nick but he says " I don't know " more than anybody
