And it gives the younger guys more reps. Harper and P-Rob don't need the reps nearly as much.

Doh & Bart!!

Re: Saints place three on PUP?
 

Wide receiver Marques Colston was added to the physically unable to perform list Thursday, which means the eight-year veteran won’t be on the field for the Saints’ first training camp practice Friday.

Saints coach Sean Payton said Colston has a foot injury but should return within a week. Rookie receiver Kenny Stills, a fifth-round draft pick, should be able to practice soon after being put on the PUP list with a wrist injury.

Earlier this week, the Saints put strong safety Roman Harper, linebacker Victor Butler and cornerback Patrick Robinson on the PUP list, which means they can’t practice until they pass a physical.

Butler tore his ACL in one of the team’s final offseason workouts, and Payton said Robinson had arthroscopic knee surgery this spring. Harper is recovering from sports hernia surgery.

Payton expects Harper to be ready, soon and he said they’ll monitor Robinson weekly although General Manager Mickey Loomis said it may be late in the preseason before he’s full go.

Is it my imagination that the less the teams practice, the more injuries occur?

What the hell is going on?

Payton Chess...

Saints WR Marques Colston to Start Training Camp on PUP List?
 

We knew going in to New Orleans Saints training camp that the team had a variety of injuries—safety Roman Harper is dealing with one, as is rookie wide receiver Kenny Stills and cornerback Patrick Robinson.

One name we didn’t expect to see pop up on the injury list is one of the Saints’ most important players—receiver Marques Colston.

Head coach Sean Payton revealed the news during the press conference to kick off Saints training camp (per NOLA.com):


#Saints Payton expanding on injuries: WR Colston has foot ‘we’re trying to be cautious with.’ CB Robinson had knee scoped this summer and ‘progress has been outstanding.’ S Harper (abdomen) will be limited, WR Stills (wrist) will be limited. But they should participate. … And LB Butler will obviously be sidelined with torn ACL.

Payton says Colston has a foot injury and could be on PUP miss a week. Robinson is week-by-week with a knee scope.

This is a bit concerning if you’re a Saints fan. Colston has quietly been one of the NFL’s best receivers for years. Saints fans known this—the rest, not so much.

It sounds as if the coaching staff is trying to take a caution approach, which makes it seem like it could be a nagging injury. With any luck it’s one that won’t be an issues throughout the season, but this isn’t a great start.

Colston can come off the PUP list at any time during camp. Keep a close eye on this one. We’ll have the latest.

Give the new guys reps. Colston doesn't need to risk anything.

Re: Saints WR Marques Colston to Start Training Camp on PUP List?
 

No he doesn't, but he does need his reps as well.

Re: Saints WR Marques Colston to Start Training Camp on PUP List?
 

He needs his foot issue to be gone before he gets any reps. No need to risk dragging the healing out just so a veteran gets a few reps.
