cornerback Delvin Breaux is eligible to play in Week 9 after starting the year on injured reserve, but don't expect him to jump right back into a starting role.
Coach Sean Payton said the Saints want to make sure Breaux is ready physically to handle all aspects of playing in a game before rushing him into a significant role.
The Saints have done the same thing with wide receiver Willie Snead this year. Snead missed the first three games due to a suspension and then sat Week 4 with a hamstring injury. When he played Week 6, he was on the field for 21 offensive snaps, but he sat out again in Week 7.
