If they can't play, undrafted rookie Pierre Thomas likely will handle the bulk of the Saints' rushing load, with Pinner and Barclay playing supporting roles.

"We'll see where we're at," Payton said. "In Steck's case, he has a pretty significant turf toe. He was able to come back in the game, and we're just trying to calm it down as best we can.

I doubt Stecker will play with that turf toe. I am sure it got worse after the game was over. A lot of guys hurt in a game can comeback for that game, but after the injury has time to swell up and stuff, a whole different story.

I think it's time to see Pierre Thomas run the ball 25 times. There is really nothing to lose at this point.
