Saints linebacker Kaden Elliss suffered a knee injury in the 4th quarter of the team’s win in Seattle and is going on injured reserve. No further details yet, but explains why the team has signed free agent Stephone Anthony.

Elliss was drafted in the 7th round of the 2019 NFL Draft and was named to the All-Big Sky First Team in his senior season at Idaho. He had a promising preseason filling in for an injured Alex Anzalone and contributed on special teams through the first 3 games of the regular season, playing 48 snaps.
