Sheldon Rankins Placed On IR, Ty Montgomery Activated
4 years agoThe New Orleans Saints placed defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday and activated running back Ty Montgomery (hamstring) from IR in a corresponding move. Rankins sprained the MCL in his knee in the Week 8 overtime win over the Bears, and he'll be out for at least the next three weeks. He's been one of the team's better pass-rushers in his contract year, ranking fourth with 13 QB pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. Before Montgomery went down with his injury earlier in the year, he had played more snaps on special teams (36) than on offense (10). He'll be a long shot to contribute much on offense unless injuries strike New Orleans' backfield.
