The Saints have placed 34-year old starting free safety Darren Sharper on the reserve/PUP list meaning that he will miss at least the Saints first six games due to a knee injury.  Sharper played in 14 games (all starts) for the Saints last season and he had 71 tackles, 1/2 a sack, 15 passes defensed and 9 interceptions (376 return yards, 41.8 avg) with 3 of them that he returned for TDs.  The Saints will promote Malcolm Jenkins to replace Sharper while he is out of action.  Jenkins played in 14 games (6 starts) as a rookie for the Saints last season and he had 55 tackles, 4 passes defensed, 1 interception and he forced 2 fumbles.
