Some reinforcements could be on the way for the New Orleans Saints. While the team was expecting to get all-star wide receiver Michael Thomas back from his early-season ankle sprain (and a single-game benching after a fight in practice), on Monday they also designated two veteran players to return from injuries on the official NFL transactions wire: linebacker Kiko Alonso and running back Ty Montgomery.
Alonso started training camp on the physically unable to perform list after suffering an ACL tear back in January’s playoffs; despite some offseason optimism, he wasn’t able to get medical clearance to return to work until Oct.
