The New Orleans Saints have fired two team doctors after they misdiagnosed cornerback Delvin Breaux’s leg injury.

Coach Sean Payton says the oversight was a significant setback that slowed down the progress of Breaux’s recovery:
CUT 25 (12) “for us”
There were rumors going around this week that the team was shopping Breaux for a trade because of frustrations over his injuries.
The news of the doctors’ terminations, who worked for both of Tom Benson’s franchises, sparked a series of reactions from former Saints and a former Pelican. Breaux himself tweeted that life is great.
There is a new Tiger on the campus of LSU, but he’s not Mike VII just yet. Officials with the university say 11-month old Harvey is currently in a night house where he will be monitored by veterinarians for at least a week while they determine if he’s healthy and a good fit for LSU. Harvey was donated to LSU from a sanctuary in Florida, called “Wild at Heart Wildlife Center.” Mikes IV, V and VI were also donated to LSU from rescue facilities.
