Cameron Meredith Placed On Injured Reserve
6 years agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) will be placed on Injured Reserve and will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee, according to head coach Sean Payton. Meredith will have a "clean-up" surgery on the knee because he had been fighting through swelling each week. Payton said the wideout is expected to make a "full recovery." He missed the entire 2017 season with the Bears after he tore his left ACL during the preseason. Meredith had zero targets in the last three games for the Saints. His injury partially explains why the Saints signed Dez Bryant this week. Meredith will finish the year with nine catches for 114 yards and a touchdown. While Bryant has the opportunity to become the No. 3 wideout in New Orleans with both Meredith and Ginn on IR, it's not even a lock that he'll play in Week 10 against the Bengals after signing on Wednesday. Bryant has WR3 upside to close out there year, but he'll be a risk/reward fantasy commodity after a long layoff from playing.
