NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo faces a four- to five-month recovery period after undergoing surgery to repair his broken femur early Friday morning, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Adebo is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins on March 12.
Adebo broke his femur while trying to help a teammate make a tackle midway through the second quarter of the Saints 33-10 loss to the Denver Broncos. Adebo grabbed his leg when he hit the ground, prompting the medical staff to come over and fit him with a vacuum cast after an examination.
