|
| Marques Colston (kidney) is listed as probable for the Saints' game against the Vikings on Thursday, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Judd Zulgad. |
Our View: He'll be on the field tomorrow night and should see his usual workload. Look for big numbers out of the Saints' passing offense against a banged-up Vikings secondary. |
|
|
|
| Jonathan Vilma (groin) is listed as probable for Thursday night's game against the Vikings, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan. |
Our View: Tracy Porter is probable as well, while Zach Strief is questionable and Stanley Arnoux and RB Chris Ivory have been ruled out. Barring something unforeseen, Vilma will be on the field. |
|
|
|
| The Saints have waived Leigh Torrence, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Larry Holder. |
Our View: He was forced to go after the team opted to re-sign Tory Humphrey. Torrence would have served as the Saints' fifth cornerback. |
|
|
|
| The Saints have re-signed Tory Humphrey, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Larry Holder. |
Our View: He'll help out on special teams and also provide depth at tight end. |
|
|
|
| According to CBS Sports, Marques Colston (bruised kidney) was a full participant in Saints practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. |
Our View: He'll be ready to go on Thursday against the Vikings. Entering his fifth year in the league, he'll be going for his fourth 1,000-yard campaign in 2010. |
|
|
|
| Marques Colston was limited at the Saints' practice on Monday with a bruised kidney, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan. |
Our View: This sounds like more of a precaution. He's still fully expected to start and see his usual workload against the Vikings on Thursday night. |
|
|
|
| Jonathan Vilma (groin) practiced on Sunday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. |
Our View: He'll be good to go against the Vikings on Thursday night. He and the Saints will have their hands full against Adrian Peterson and company. |
|
|
|
| The Dolphins claimed offensive tackle Jermey Parnell off waivers from the Saints Sunday, according to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. |
Our View: Parnell's the definition of developmental, and he's got a lot of ground to make up in the strength department. Still, he'll get a look in Miami, just don't expect him to stick. |
|
|
|
| According to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints have signed rookie quarterback Sean Canfield to their practice squad. |
Our View: Canfield's got limited upside physically, but he's extremely heady and accurate. He'll join receiver Montez Billings, offensive lineman Brandon Carter, linebacker Harry Coleman, defensive tackle DeMario Pressley, cornerback Reggie Jones and fullback Matt Clapp on the practice squad. |
|
|
|
| According to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Jonathan Casillas (foot) has been placed on injured reserve. |
Our View: A tremendously tough break for Casillas, who had earned New Orleans' starting weak-side linebacker job this summer. Scott Shanle should now slide back over to his old position. |
|
|
|
| Bobby McCray has been released by the New Orleans Saints, according to the team's Twitter feed. |
Our View: He was re-signed in July after notching 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks last season, but didn't make much of an impression during training camp. He should be added as veteran depth somewhere in the next few weeks. |
|
|
|
| As expected, veteran quarterback Patrick Ramsey was released by the Saints on Saturday. |
Our View: New Orleans has decided to go with the unproven Chase Daniel as Drew Brees' back-up. A player with a similar skill set and build to Brees, the Saints obviously think Daniel has a bright NFL future ahead of him. |
|
|
|
| After weeks of speculation, Darren Sharper (knee) will be placed on New Orleans' physically unable to perform list, according to NewOrleans.com. Recovering from microfracture surgery, he will now be ineligible to play until Week 7. |
Our View: After all that summer trash talking, he will now be unable to play against the Vikings next Thursday as the NFL season kicks off. Despite his monster 2009 campaign, don't look for him to be a big contributor in 2010 as age and injury finally start to catch up with him. |
|
|
|
| The Saints have cut Patrick Ramsey, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. |
Our View: Ramsey was beaten out by Chase Daniel for the right to back up Drew Brees. You have to believe that this could mean the end to Ramsey's NFL career. |
|
|
|
| The Saints have cut Ladell Betts, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. |
Our View: It sounds like his knee still isn't quite 100 percent. He'll have to get back to full health and wait for another team to suffer an injury at halfback before he's given another chance in the NFL. |
|
|
|
| Christopher Ivory will undergo tests on his knee after getting hurt in the Saints preseason finale Thursday, according to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. |
Our View: Ivory looked like he had a roster spot sewn up as the No. 3 back in New Orleans, but this injury could throw a wrench in those plans. He carried three times for four yards tonight. The extent of the injury is unknown, so be sure to check back for an update on his status. |
