The New Orleans Saints had two transactions listed on the daily NFL wire, designating linebacker Kiko Alonso and cornerback Johnson Bademosi to the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Saturday. Both players will count against the 90-man roster limit.
Alonso suffered a torn ACL in the Saints’ postseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings back in January, and has spent the offseason recovering from surgery. While there were optimistic reports about his availability to open training camp earlier this summer, the Saints are going to be cautious in working him back onto the practice field.
