Just before the New Orleans Saints and the Dallas Cowboys face off in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday Night Football, the inactive list was released and looking at the Saints inactives, there aren’t many surprises.
One thing that does stand out though is that Sheldon Rankins isn’t on the inactive list. This will be the former Louisville Cardinal’s first taste of action since tearing his Achilles in the NFC Divisional game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The news was first reported by Ian Rapoport
