This is a tough break for Sincere Haynesworth. The rookie offensive lineman from Tulane signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent earlier this year, but he was waived on Tuesday with an injury designation, the team announced. The Saints are practicing at Tulane's Yulman Stadium on Tuesday night.

Haynesworth needed assistance exiting Sunday's preseason game with the San Francisco 49ers after getting rolled up on by other players, which was really unfortunate.

The third-string offense missed him; journeyman guard Shane Lemieux had a couple of low snaps after filling in for Haynesworth, putting at least one on the ground. Haynesworth was a long-shot to make the 53-man roster but he is someone who could have stuck around on the practice squad.

Instead he'll go on injured reserve upon clearing waivers. We'll wish him a speedy and full recovery.
