This is a really tough break for Ryan Connelly. He wasn’t at practice on Tuesday, and New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said it’s due to a knee injury that might sideline him for some time.
Allen said that the Saints will conduct further evaluations on the veteran linebacker’s injured knee, but cautioned that it “could be fairly significant” for Connelly. The former Wisconsin Badger was a college teammate of Ryan Racmzyk and Zack Baun, having spent time with the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants before hitting his stride in New Orleans.
