Suddenly

It's only June. But already Mark Ingram, who Sean Payton recently complemented as looking very "sudden" at Saints practices is ruining everyone's hopes and dreams for the upcoming season.
Brutal news for New Orleans Saints linebacker Victor Butler as he tore his ACL during Tuesday's organized team activities practice, according to a source. Butler was a key free-agent signing during the offseason and figured to be a player to help the Saints' lackluster pass rush.

The source also said Butler will likely end up on injured reserve. This was the last week of OTAs for the Saints, and Wednesday's practice session was canceled as the many Saints players said via Twitter that the team was going on a field trip.

Running back Mark Ingram took a swing pass during a team drill during Tuesday's practice and collided with Butler near the sideline. Ingram ran free, but Butler remained on the turf for a couple of minutes.
