INJURY SITUATION

The Saints currently have three players on injured reserve -- running back Deuce McAllister, tight end Mark Campbell and safety Steve Gleason.Four players sat out Wednesday's practice, including linebacker Scott Fujita with a sore right ankle. Cornerback Jason David (forearm), defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy (toe) and wide receiver David Patten (calf) also missed practice.
Of those four players, only David has been ruled out of this week's game against Carolina. Fujita and Clancy are still questionable.
"A lot of it is based on how they recover in the next 24 to 48 hours," Payton said of Fujita and Clancy's situation. "It's a wait and see."
If Fujita isn't able to go, Payton said veteran free agent signees Brian Simmons or Troy Evans will be next in line.
"We have a couple of guys working at that spot," Payton said. "Brian Simmons is an experienced player and we have Troy Evans as well. Those guys got most of the work today."

gleason is the most missed........
special teamers are the key to any teams' success if you ask me.

Re: Injury Situation
 

We need Fujita for this game. And please, if anybody sees Sean Payton around, tell him to get Mark Simoneau the f*** out of the game ASAP. We have a very good player in Brian Simmons on the sidelines who actually shows some athleticism. Please!

Man, WTF is up with Simoneau, is he married to Payton's sister. I for one fell for that best player plays crap, well that has not been the case when it comes to Simmons. If Simmons is not better than Simoneau then why is he on the team? Coach Payton PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do the right thing and start MLB Brian Simmons.

Re: Injury Situation
 

I wonder if Patton doesn't play, will Meachem get to play.

Re: Injury Situation
 

No. Meachem is so buried on the receiver depth chart that it'll take an archeological dig to unearth him. :D

If Fugita misses, they will have to play Simmons in his place. At least we will get a chance to see him, but will miss Fugita big time.

Re: Injury Situation
 

what is the deal with Mark Simoneau ???? if every SAINTS fan can see it why can't coach Payton.

I wonder if he reads any of these fourms. Simoneau that is.
