Saints cornerback Delvin Breaux had a trying year in New Orleans.
First Breaux suffered a stress fracture of his fibula in training camp, an injury that was initially diagnosed as a shin contusion, and the resulting fallout resulted in the high-profile firing of former team orthopedists Deryk Jones and Misty Suri.
Breaux underwent surgery with the intent to return to the Saints at midseason, then suffered a setback right before he returned to game action, forcing him to miss the entire season.
Breaux posted some good news on his Instagram page on Wednesday.
"Yes, finally cleared to return to all activities," Breaux wrote.
