Jonathan Vilma's comeback was short-lived. The New Orleans Saints placed the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season after just one game and casting doubt on whether the 31-year-old will be able to return from a nagging knee injury. The Saints have not offered any details on Wednesday's decision. Vilma didn't suffer any noticeable setback during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the New York Jets, but it's possible that his knee didn't respond well enough during or after the game.
