Saints place Coby Fleener on IR after fifth career concussion

Saints tight end Coby Fleener

The New Orleans Saints placed tight end Coby Fleener on IR Saturday, just days after he suffered a concussion against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fleener said after the game that is was the fifth concussion of his career.

Fleener was hit hard on what some have said was a dirty hit by Rams defensive back Blake Countess in the fourth quarter. The hit ended up costing Countess a pretty penny.

Showing the NFL concussion protocol is still very much a work in progress, he ended up remaining in the game for a few plays afterward.

Fleener finishes the season with 22 receptions for 295 yards and two touchdowns.
