Saints' Dannell Ellerbe set to make season debut Week 4 vs. Cowboys

Saints linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Ellerbe will make his Saints regular-season debut, and while he's listed atop the depth chart at weakside linebacker, he may have a limited role. If he has an every-down role, or eventually works his way into one, Ellerbe could be a surprisingly productive IDP.
