3 years agoNew Orleans Saints tight end Nick Vannett was placed on injured reserve on Monday. Vannett sustained a knee injury in the preseason and now must miss three games after being placed on IR. The tight end was signed by New Orleans in the offseason after spending last season in Denver where he managed 14 receptions for 95 yards and a score on 21 targets in 15 games. Now, the Saints will go forward with Adam Trautman, who can hopefully suit up in Week 1 after sustaining a minor leg injury in the preseason himself, and Juwan Johnson as their lead tight ends heading into the season.--Rishi Patel - RotoBaller
