Just four months ago, it appeared that Vinnie Sunseri was on pace to return for an impact after his 2015 season came to a screeching halt. Sunseri was carted off the field during the team’s preseason home game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, August 30 after covering a punt in the second quarter. Sunseri needed help getting off of the field after an apparent knee injury.
Sunseri would be waived by the Saints on September 1 as part of their cuts to get down to 75 players, but brought back and placed on season-ending injured reserve on September 2.
