Saints kicker John Carney said the team has indicated to him that he'll still have a locker to come back to Monday when the team returns from its bye week. He doesn't know what the plan is for kicker Garrett Hartley, though, now that Hartley is back from his four-game suspension.

"All I can do is work hard and show up," Carney said. "Just take it one week at a time and be excited to have th eopportunity and see where it takes us."

The Saints have until next Monday to make a roster move involving Hartley. They have not indicated their plans yet, but Coach Sean Payton made it sound this week like the team will strongly consider keeping both kickers on the roster -- even if it means de-activating one of them on game days.
