Whew!

Mine has been haunting me for years. I had it fixed a couple of years ago and it still bothers me after any serious exertion.

I wonder if this will change the number of CBs the Saints had planned on keeping on the final roster. It seems there are a few guys that are battling for that position. Maybe they'll keep one more and let the battle continue on into the season.

And if they do keep an extra CB, which position will lose a guy?

maybe now that Sean is on sabbatical we'll drop down to 5 TE's

Don't we have 2 fullbacks still on the roster? and 2 kickers...

OK.... who is out there at CB?

Not bothered one bit.

The season Spags and Flajole had last year with the Rams' secondary and how they overcame all those difficulties to have an above average secondary - over a dozen DBs put on IR - the Saints' secondary will be much improved.

I had that same surgery before. I was good as new in 3 1/2 weeks. And I was far from physically conditioned.

Under the new CBA if worse came to worse we could IR Greer and bring him back later on in the year. Hopefully they caught it early enough for it not to be a problem. Seems like he got up to Philly fast, and they diagnosed it early so that helps. Think he will be fine.
