Well here we go again. Can´t we make it at least into training camp before we loose our draft picks to injuries?

The Saints just confirmed that fourth-round draft pick Stanley Arnoux ruptured his left Achilles tendon during the first practice of rookie minicamp Friday morning. He is expected to miss the entire 2009 season, according to a league source, but the Saints said they won't announce a recovery timetable until a later date.

Arnoux will have surgery at some point next week.

The rookie outside linebacker from Wake Forest apparently suffered the injury while running toward the ball during the practice, which was held outdoors on a natural grass surface.
