He finished the 2020 season with just 1.5 sacks -- the lowest mark of his five-year career -- but he'll look to get back on track in this year's playoffs. His next chance to get to the quarterback will come in the NFC divisional round against Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.

Moves off IR Rankins (knee-MCL) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Rankins missed the past four weeks dealing with an MCL sprain, but the defensive tackle should be full throttle Sunday against the Falcons. The 2016 first-round pick has played over 60 percent of the defensive snaps just once this season.

Designated to return from IR Rankins (knee - MCL) has been designated to return from IR, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact The move opens Rankins' 21-day practice window and offers the possibility that the fifth-year defensive tackle could play in Sunday's game versus Denver. Rankins' return to the field would be a boost to a Saints defensive front that has shuffled replacements during his absence.

Lands on IR The Saints place Rankins (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Luke Johnson of NOLA.com reports.

Impact Rankins has missed practice all week while tending to a mild MCL sprain, and now he'll miss a minimum of three games. He'll be eligible to return Week 12 against the Broncos, and with no serious damage to his knee, that timeline looks realistic. David Onyemata should bump into a starting defensive tackle role until Rankins returns, and there should be a fair amount of reps left behind for Malcolm Roach and Shy Tuttle.

Missing more practice Rankins was sidelined at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.

Impact Thursday marked the second consecutive missed practice for Rankins, so his chances to suit up in Sunday night's game against Tampa Bay appear in some jeopardy. Rankins left last week's win over Chicago with the knee injury, which was believed to be a mild MCL sprain. There were no reports of serious damage from his MRI on Monday, but if Rankins is forced to suit Week 9, David Onyemata would be in line for a start at defensive tackle.

Escapes with minor sprain Rankins (knee) is believed to have suffered a mild MCL sprain during Sunday's 26-23 win over the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Rankins' initial diagnosis appears to have brought good news, after the 26-year-old defensive tackle went down with what appeared to be a serious injury versus Chicago. He's scheduled for an MRI on Monday to officially confirm the severity of his knee issue.

Leaves field with knee injury Rankins (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to a knee injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Rankins was forced out of the first half of Sunday's contest due to what appeared to be a significant left knee injury, but he was able to walk to the locker room under his own strength. David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle are candidates to see increased snaps if Rankins can't return versus Chicago.
