Saints lose Chase Daniel to broken thumb

Attached Thumbnails · 06-13-2012, 01:16 PM

It’s a good thing the Saints are almost finished with their on-field work until training camp, because they’re quickly running out of quarterbacks.

Saints coach Joe Vitt said Wednesday that backup Chase Daniel will be out until training camp, after suffering a sprained thumb and a hairline fracture, per Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Vitt said Daniel suffered the injury when he hit his thumb on a helmet.

The Saints have already had their minicamp, and have just one more scheduled day of OTAs, so there shouldn’t be a panic.

Still, the only healthy passers on the roster are the recently signed Luke McCown and Sean Canfield.

If nothing else, that should serve as a subliminal message to get going on signing a quarterback.

I remember hearing they were close on one last week. Wonder what happened to that Drew Brees guy?

That's two ready. Look out! Goodell might come out and investigate us for a camp scandal claiming we are trying to purposely injure our own players.

Glad this didn't happen earlier in the OTA's. Still not a big deal since we will have Drew back soon.

Pretty bad to have stuff happening when these guys are mostly just running around without full contact and pads. What happens Then?

Saints should have snagged Dan Persa from the UDFA's before Tampa did. Young and talented.

Hey maybe Bobby can shed a few pounds and come back and help us out.

I think we have a better chance at having Drew sign the franchise tag ....

Nobody needs to be available. The Saints' mini camp is over. They don't meet again until July 27th. Brees will be signed by then and Daniel will be 100% by then.

Take a shot and chill out, Smash. All is fine and I have a feeling this year is going to be the best ride of our lives.
