Roman Harper Out for Season

The Saints announced today that second round draft pick and starting safety Roman Harper is out for the season with a torn ACL. He will be replaced by Omar Stoutmire. A solid tackler and coverage safety, Harper performed very well in all 5 games he appeared in, starting all 5. Harper, a former Alabama star, made an immediate impact moving up the depth chart in training camp. Stoutmire, while a more than able backup, lacks the size and power that Harper brought to the field. We all hope Harper can recover and get back on the field next season.
