Good news

Not sure that's good news.

With the way this line, and the D as a whole is playing, I'm not sure I want anything to change.

Depth is always a positive

Good to see he is healthy. He will definitely help the Saints D-line by keeping them fresh. Come playoff time hopefully the line is fully healthy, they will be fresh while other teams O and D-lines are battered.

Shimmy Shel is back!!! OMG! What an embarrassment of riches. Saints undoubtedly have the most depth in the NFL. It's insane.

I think it is good news. Just different good news, instead of thank god he is finally back, its...awesome....high quality depth....

We are deep at DL and that allows every player to be fresh throughout the game. There is no deeper rotation in the NFL this season and going into December and playoffs it will clearly pay dividends. Rankins is a quality player who only adds to this rotation by being back.

If you've fallen into a hole or a well, not so much.

So who do we waive?

You’d prefer that Ryan Glasgow continue to get 14 snaps instead of Sheldon Rankins?

And for what it’s worth, I thought Glasgow played well.

Is he in shape by after missing time? He may be an inactive this week.

Ryan Glasgow would be my guess

I do not believe he has been technically activated. They simply opened up his 21 day window to by activating him to return. He could still sit a few weeks to round back into shape...or if he's ready they can make the official roster move by Sat afternoon. Great depth to have, our D-Line is the best in all of football.

Beat me to it.

Designated to return and activated are two very different things.

Mine too, since I’ve never heard of him and didn’t know he was on our roster.

This makes absolute 0 sense.

The offensive and defensive lines are the most physical positions in football; consistently keeping people healthly and fresh is the #1 concern.

If you can’t understand that then idk what to tell you.
