Nick Toon/Adrian Arrington update
 
Saints rookie WR Nick Toon (foot) is expected to miss a third straight preseason game next week.

Toon missed the Hall of Fame Game and Thursday night's second exhibition due to a recurring foot injury. He's making no headway in his fight for snaps. Saints interim coach Joe Vitt does anticipate Toon returning "sooner than later."

Saints WR Adrian Arrington is expected to require surgery "of some kind" on his troublesome knee.

Arrington missed New Orleans' first two exhibition games, and it sounds like he'll miss the final three as well after a visit to the office of Dr. James Andrews. No one has stepped up in the Saints' fourth receiver derby as of yet.

AA is a goner, unless they stick him on IR again

Apparently Mr. Triplett hasn't been watching the pre season games. If he had, he would know that Roby has not only has stepped up, but he's been a monster.

Roby has done a good job of stepping up. To say noone has stepped up is a bit misleading.

I don't know...........maybe it's time to cut bait and move on.

Looks like it's Joe Morgan, Andy Tanner, and Courtney Roby's job to lose those remaining WR spots.

Re: Nick Toon/Adrian Arrington update
 
As much as I thought he would be gone, it looks like Roby will be making the team again. He looked solid in the New England game. Tanner has looked pretty impressive, as well. Morgan has looked good on some plays and bad on others. I would say Tanner and Roby have the upper hand right now.

Re: Nick Toon/Adrian Arrington update
 
One thing Morgan has going for him is his speed. Meachem's departure leaves the Saints with one less downfield threat and I think the coaches will consider it. It might not be enough for him to the roster but it will certainly help his cause.

I'd be quite disappointed to see Toon hit the IR. Worst case scenario for him, I see him no worse than fifth WR on the game day roster by the end of the year, with Roby playing 4th. If he doesn't get any time in preseason, he can hit the PR for awhile and get up to speed while Roby and Tanner dress.

I understand what people see in Morgan, but for me he has to show a lot more in the next few preseason games if he expects to beat out Tanner for the PR WR spot, let alone the active roster. Roby is to much of a proven commodity and playing too well, Morgan is too much of an unknown. Tanner has alao outperformed him. Drops wont do it for Morgan. I'll eat my words if Morgan has a couple good games against the Jags and Texans.

Re: Nick Toon/Adrian Arrington update
 
Well, I think Roby is probably on the team for sure. He is a special teams freak and is holding his own at WR. So, that pretty much nails the top 4 spots. After that it gets real dicey. Do the Saints carry 5 or do they carry 6 at WR? At this point Arrington probably needs to be considered done, looks like IR for him or an injury settlement cut. Morgan has some sick speed, but is very unreliable at this point. Tanner looks like he is the real deal, but the Saints are already loaded with possession type of receivers. Unfortunately, unless Toon gets better in a hurry, his season is going to be done real soon. Yes, he probably would get a spot if healthy, but I seriously see him going to IR and getting another shot next year.

At this point I am going to stick with my earlier prediction of Colston, Moore, Henderson, Roby, and Morgan if they keep 5, if they keep 6 then Tanner probably makes it.

Unless joe Morgan has the best games of his life the next two weeks I think it's Roby's job to lose

Not taking anything away from tanner but we need another speedster than can get downfield in a hurry and roby fits that, he's definitley showing he wants the spot

I agree he's a good player but 4 years and he only made it the field a hand full of time.

For someone other than that to step up would be a complete shock.

IR would not be bad at all- all of our receivers take time to develop: Devery couldn't catch an STD in the Quarter his first year, and Meachem never even made the active roster.
We have been spoiled by having a productive #5, but I am fine with Sproles, Graham, PT, Colston, Moore and Henderson catching 4-5 more balls each

Re: Nick Toon/Adrian Arrington update
 
It's still early in preseason to tell. Still lots of time for somebody to shine.

That being said, after two preseason games, I would put them in this order

I think they'll keep 6

Colston
Moore
Henderson
Roby
Morgan
Toon

But Toon has to get on field to secure his spot cause Tanner has looked very good.

What really hurts Tanner is that he's a slot receiver and the Saints already play Moore, Colston and Graham out of the slot.
