Sean Payton made the end of Jabari Greer's season official on Tuesday, announcing that the starting quarterback would be placed on injured reserve because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Greer was injured on a play in which he leaped to break up a pass intended for Jon Baldwin in the first half of New Orleans' victory over San Francisco on Sunday. New Orleans also has signed defensive back Trevin Wade, who was drafted by Cleveland and played much of last season, but had been a free agent throughout this season. Payton said second-year cornerback Corey White is expected to take over Greer's starting role, as he did during last Sunday's game, in which he had an interception.
