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."
