Gets fifth-year option
The Saints are exercising their fifth-year option on Rankins, who is expected to miss the early part of the 2019 season after suffering a torn Achilles on Jan. 13, The New Orleans Advocate reports.
Analysis: The fifth-year option applies to 2020 and is guaranteed for injury only. It was probably an easy decision even with a lengthy rehab process ahead, as Rankins is coming off a breakout 2018 campaign that featured 40 tackles (26 solo) and eight sacks in 16 regular-season games (all starts). The 12th overall pick from the 2016 NFL Draft recently celebrated his 25th birthday and likely will open his fourth pro season on the PUP list.

Expected to miss start of 2019
Rankins (Achilles) likely will open the 2019 regular season on the PUP list, which would rule him out for the first six weeks, Nick Underhill of The New Orleans Advocate reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old defensive tackle suffered a torn Achilles in the divisional round of the playoffs, giving him less than eight months to recover before Week 1 of 2019. With their top defensive tackle expected to miss at least six games at the beginning of the season, New Orleans acquired some depth in the form of Malcom Brown, a 320-pounder who has started 51 games in four seasons since the Patriots selected him at No. 32 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. While he can't replace Rankins as a pass…read more

Moves to injured reserve
Rankins (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Rankins suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Eagles and is set to undergo surgery at some point this week. The Saints signed defensive tackle Tyrunn Walker to bolster their depth at the position. Tyeler Davison should also benefit from increased snaps in Rankins' absence.

Achilles tear confirmed
An MRI has confirmed that Rankins tore his Achilles during Sunday's divisional-round victory over Philadelphia, Nick Underhill of The New Orleans Advocate reports.
Analysis: Rankins is in store for a lengthy recovery process that typically lasts 6-to-9 months for severe Achilles injuries. Thus, it's far from certain that he'll be ready to play in time for the 2019 season opener. In the interim, Taylor Stallworth figures to be much more involved in the defensive game plan for the remainder of the postseason.

Achilles injury feared
Rankins is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Sunday's divisional-round game against the Eagles, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rankins was carted off in the first quarter after suffering the previously undisclosed leg injury. The news couldn't be much worse for the 24-year-old, as a torn Achilles would likely spell an end to his season and result in an extensive recovery process. The injury is unlikely to be confirmed until after Sunday's game or on Monday. Taylor Stallworth and David Onyemata are seeing increased roles at defensive tackle for the Saints in Rankins' absence.

Carted off Sunday
Rankins exited Sunday's divisional-round game against the Eagles with an apparent leg injury, Herbie Teope of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Rankins went down in the first quarter, immediately calling for assistance from the athletic trainers, and he was eventually carted off the field. Taylor Stallworth and David Onyemata will see increased work at defensive tackle for the Saints, and Rankins' absence represents a huge loss for the defense.

Records sack in win
Rankins accumulated three tackles (one solo), one sack and one pass defended in Sunday's 28-14 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Rankins was able to record his seventh sack of the season, and was all over the quarterback in Sunday's game, racking up three quarterback hits. The 24-year-old defensive tackle now has four sacks in his past six games.

Tallies sack Sunday
Rankins recorded a sack during Sunday's 48-7 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Rankins earned his sixth sack of the season when he took down Carson Wentz in the second quarter of Sunday's blowout win. The third-year defensive tackle has four sacks in his last four games.

Fifth sack of season
Rankins had two tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's win against the Bengals.
Analysis: Rankins absolutely embarrassed guard Clint Boling on his third-quarter sack, walking the Bengals offensive lineman into the lap of quarterback Andy Dalton. While Rankins has just 23 total tackles, his five sacks rank second on the team and are the fourth-most among all NFL defensive linemen. The elite quickness that made Rankins a first-round pick in 2016 has been on display this season, making Rankins a potentially appealing option in deeper IDP leagues.
