There was a bad sight at Saints training camp today. First round pick defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins was carted off with an apparent leg injury. It occurred during a goal line drill. Coach Sean Payton they’ll have more news later and hopefully it’s good. Nick Underhill with the Baton Rouge Advocate is reporting that Rankins will likely need surgery.
In the first preseason game, linebacker Stephone Anthony was carted off the field. But ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Anthony is expected to be back before the regular season opener. Anthony led the team in tackles last season.
Former Oklahoma defensive tackle Courtney Garnett has been added to Grambling’s roster. He received a four-star rating from ESPN when he came out of high school in 2013.
