NEW ORLEANS — Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo faces a four- to five-month recovery period after undergoing surgery to repair his broken femur early Friday morning, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Adebo is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins March 12. He broke his femur while trying to help a teammate make a tackle midway through the second quarter of the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Adebo grabbed his leg when he hit the ground, prompting the medical staff to fit him with a vacuum cast after an examination.
He was placed on a cart and driven off. Rookie cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, a second-round pick this year, took Adebo's place.
