The New Orleans Saints claimed cornerback Janoris Jenkins off waivers yesterday after the New York Giants choose to release Jenkins after a “controversial” remark he made at a fan jawing at him on Twitter.
Janoris Jenkins’ claim officially is delayed until Tuesday because the Saints play the Colts tonight. But Jenkins officially will become a Saint on Tuesday. https://t.co/kezZbpkl5o
The move couldn’t have come at a better time for the New Orleans Saints defense.
The unit as a whole has struggled mightily on the back half of the season due to some key defensive injuries to defensive tackle Sheldon Rankings (out for season), Vonn Bell (knee), and defensive end Marcus Davenport (out for season) who was off to a great start before suffering an injury set back.
