While the New Orleans Saints made the next big step in their 2018 Season by knocking off the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in the NFC Playoffs Divisional Round, there was one major bit of bad news that dampened the celebration. Starting defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins went down in the first quarter of the game with what is believed to be a torn Achilles tendon and will be out for the rest of the season.
There’s a lot of bad to be sorted out with the news of this injury. Sheldon Rankins, in his third year as a pro, was having a breakout season.
