The NFL changed its rules this year to allow teams to activate two players off injured reserve, but the New Orleans Saints won't be taking advantage of the change.
The Saints had planned to activate cornerback Delvin Breaux earlier this month after a broken fibula put him on injured reserve, but he suffered a setback during his three-week practice window, leading the team to keep him on the injured list for the rest of the season.
Because Breaux returned to practice, he counted as one of the Saints' players returning from injured reserve, even though he never came back to the active roster.
