The New Orleans Saints defense figures to be a strength of the team again in 2020, even if multiple starters are returning from season-ending injuries. Defensive end Marcus Davenport, linebacker Alex Anzalone, and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins are each expected to be ready for the July 28 start of Saints training camp later this summer, and now another name has been added to the list: linebacker Kiko Alonso.
Alonso exited the Saints’ playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings with a torn ACL, and shared an update earlier this offseason on his progress in recovery.
