NEW ORLEANS - Saints linebacker Scott Fujita went to the sideline with a left leg injury late in the first quarter of New Orleans' game against the New York Giants on Sunday.

Saints officials called Fujita's condition a lower left leg injury and said his return was questionable.

Fujita did not go to the locker room, but remained on the bench when the Saints' defense returned to the field early in the second quarter.

Not good, hopefully he is OK. I did not like seeing that ice pack wrapped around his leg. An injury at LB, could that possibly mean Derrick Brooks is back on the radar??? Heck, the Saints do have a kicker and a 3rd string QB to cut, so who knows...

Its was his calf.

Doesn't look like a major injury.

Re: Saints LB Fujita hurts leg
 

I hope not. We need him. Props to Evans and Mitchell though on their fill in contributions.

It does seem like the backup LBs did well.

Any official news on the injury?

Evans is a special teamer at best. He was not good yesterday. I would like to see an athletic guy like Dunbar or Casillas get a shot.

damn impressed with the fill-ins. Would have expected the offense to exploit Fujita's absence, and it never happened. Sitting in the Dome yesterday, we had no way to know what happened to SF.

All hope this is not major maybe we will know after today and see if bring someone in is necessary.

i'm sorry about Fujita, but, he hasn't really been contributing as much this season as previous seasons. i think it is time Jo-lonn Dunbar to step up. He is a young guy who can fly around and MAKE PLAYS. thats what this defense is all about. i know we all saw it during the preseason, too!

give this kid his deserved chance, mr williams!

The linebackers still did their jobs with the backups in. It didn't look like we missed a beat. I would have liked to see Dunbar or Casillas get some playing time.
