Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Saints LB Kiko Alonso suffered a torn ACL during Sunday’s loss to the Vikings.
This is, unfortunately, the third ACL injury for Alonso. However, Pelissero says he should be back in time for the 2020 season.
Alonso, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Bills back in 2013. The Bills traded to the Eagles in return for RB LeSean McCoy back in 2015.
From there, Alonso was traded to the Dolphins along with Byron Maxwell back in 2016 in return for a first-round pick. Miami later traded him to the Saints for OLB Vince Biegel at the start of the 2019 season.
Alonso is entering the final year of his four-year, $28.91 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $6.375 million in 2020.
In 2019, Alonso appeared in 13 games for the Saints and recorded 31 tackles, no sacks or interceptions and one pass defense.
