The New Orleans Saints announced Thursday that corner Delvin Breaux will remain on injured reserve, signaling an end to his season.
Breaux opened the year on IR with a fractured fibula and was eligible to return after eight weeks on the shelf, but suffered a setback in his recovery.
The New Orleans native has been a starter since signing with the Saints in 2015, but injuries limited him to just six games in 2016. He was expected to be a leader in the secondary this season, but in his place, rookie Marshon Lattimore and 2016 signee Ken Crawley have thrived for the 6-2, NFC South-leading Saints.
