New Orleans Saints TE Jack Tabb nearing return after injury ended rookie season

Posted May 31, 2016
Former UNC tight end Jack Tabb isn't participating in New Orleans Saints organized team activities just yet, but he's getting closer and says he expects to be back on the field soon. A year of rehab has increased his strength; now he just needs to do some more on-field work to shake off any rust from the 10-month absence. "I'm in the best shape I've ever been in."
