New Orleans Saints linebacker Dannell Ellerbe is tired of his status on the injured list.
Ellerbe has played in only seven games in the past two seasons. A Week 1 hip injury in 2014, when Ellerbe was with the Dolphins, ended his season early.
A trade from the Dolphins to the Saints last offseason didn't help much either. Toe and hip injuries kept his playing time sparse.
"Just nagging injuries from last year was kind of difficult, but it was nothing that deterred me in any way, it was always something I knew I could bounce back from," Ellerbe said.
