JACKSON, MISS. – Saints reserve tailback Aaron Stecker did not practice Monday morning because of a high ankle sprain that will keep him out of action for about two weeks, according to Coach Sean Payton.

Reserve quarterback Adrian McPherson, who was run over Saturday by a golf cart driven by the Tennessee Titans mascot, suffered a right knee bruise that he said might also keep him out two weeks. An MRI was negative.

“With Stecker, it’s good news considering,� Payton said. “He felt beter today on it. He’s got one of those casts that you immobilze it. But all the results were positive.�

Stecker’s practice reps will go to tailback Jammal Branch, a former NFL Europe player.

The NFL said Monday its football operations department was investigating the incident involving McPherson and the mascot, a raccoon known as “T-Rac,� but it was just in the fact-finding phase, according to league spokesman Greg Aiello.

Payton said he had not talked to the league about the incident.

“I think he’s going to be all right,� Payton said. “He wants to make sure everything is fine. It’s more of a bruise. They’ll figure it out.�

McPherson said the mishap occurred when he was attempting to field a punt during second-half warm-ups after he returned to the field following halftime.

“I was running for a punt and got hit directly on the knee cap by the cart, or whatever it was,� said McPherson, who said he was running full speed to catch the punt. “It’s a little disappointing. I know it was an accident, but I’m disappointed I can’t be out there practicing for the next game.
“I don’t remember much. I just remember being hit and laying down and just kind of looking up and not seeing the cart. It’s a very unfortunate situation. I know it’s an accident, but something like that should have never happened.�

BREAKING NEWS:

The Tennessee Titans mascot, known as "T-RAC" was arrested Sunday evening by Nashville police. The charges against him were D.U.I. & Hit & Run.

That was a joke. :D On a more real note.....what a freak accident, huh? McPherson gets clipped in the knee by a raccoon in a golf cart! What are the chances of that?

Better than by a drunk Bengal in a boat or Mel Gibson in a car!

the mascot was replaced by Tagliabu and him running over Amac was part of the conspiracy to move the team to L.A.
He saw #5 and thought it was reggie(he forgot he screwed up on the whole # thing)

Mike... except A-Mac was wearing #1...

Still come on... A RACCOON!! You know he's taking all kinds of stuff from the other PUP players. He'll always be the guy who got hit by the golf cart driven by a raccoon.
