The New Orleans Saints have placed safety Malcolm Jenkins and offensive lineman Charles Brown on injured reserve, ending their seasons. The team announced Saturday that it has signed safety Jerico Nelson and offensive lineman Ricky Henry from its practice squad to take their places on the active roster. Jenkins has started all of the Saints' 13 games this season, recording 96 tackles and returning an interception for a touchdown. Brown has started at right tackle in seven games this season and at tight end in one game. Henry was signed to the practice squad after the Chicago Bears waived him at the end of preseason. Nelson was an undrafted free agent who has spent the entire season on the practice squad. The Saints host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Saints Nation: Offensive Player Grades vs. Bucs

Via The Saints Nation  |  December 17, 2012
  The Saints could have put together one scoring drive and it would have been enough to give them the win, that's how good their defense played. Of course, it also helped that the offense run the ball well, had explosive plays in the passing game, and stayed efficient without turning the ball over one time. That's usually a recipe for good grades all around as you'...

This may have just been the biggest beatdown short of the 62-3 win over the Colts last season that I have ever seen the Saints put down on a team in my lifetime. While it does nothing to satisfy my postseason aspirations when the season began, and it also does nothing to help the Saints' draft position, I think it all served to make us feel better in realizing the Saints are...

Bucs game day: Keys to the game at New Orleans

Via The Bay Cave  |  December 15, 2012
In their last meeting, we saw Drew Brees and the Saints move the ball up and down the field effortlessly against the Buccaneers secondary in the first half of the game. The Bucs would eventually make adjustments but come one play away from at least tying the game. So for the Bucs to be successful, they need to do a lot of what they did in the second half of that game and nothing...
