Friday injury report
 

METAIRIE, La. (AP) -- Saints cornerback Jabari Greer will sit out his first game this season when New Orleans visits St. Louis on Sunday.
Saints coach Sean Payton on Friday ruled out Greer, defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis and receiver Lance Moore for the game against the Rams. Greer pulled his groin against Carolina last weekend. Ellis has a sprained right knee and Moore a left ankle injury.
NFL interception leader Darren Sharper, who sat out Wednesday's practice with left knee soreness, practiced on a limited basis Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable. Starting center Jonathan Goodwin (ankle) returned to practice on Friday and also was listed as questionable.
Linebacker Scott Fujita (left calf) was listed as probable.


still worry about the run with Ellis out.

This hurts

Time to see what Jenkins has as a corner. Good experience for him.

Re: Friday injury report
 

Will get to take a good look at Jenkins. I'm happy for him he get some playing time.

Re: Friday injury report
 

I won't be as worried about Ellis not being in the game if Fujita is able to come back and play this weekend. Our run game has been subpar with both of them out of the lineup. I'm looking forward to watching Jenkins play this weekend. Some people sound a little skeptical about the game this weekend, not me. ;)

I"m not the less bit worried that Greer won't play this week. Its the Rams and Payton will have the team focused on destroying them plus Jenkins gets a chance to shine

Re: Friday injury report
 

Gay starts for Greer. I don't like groin injuries...they tend to linger and debilitate more than ankles. Ankles and knees heel more predictably. I really hope they learned from Joe Horn's career ending groin and give Greer as much time to recover as he can possibly need.

Re: Friday injury report
 

If that happens then we know that Jenkins is not playing or practicing well at all because they would have to ignore the depth chart. Now I do imagine both Gay and Jenkins get plenty of playing time.

Re: Friday injury report
 

Not a lot has been said who'll start but, I bet Jenkins see some playing time.

Re: Friday injury report
 

We'll be alright ... it's not like Bulger will have all day to throw. I think the turf will be his best friend on Sunday.

Re: Friday injury report
 

Gay went in for JG last week; I think Jenkins is still one notch below, but as mentioned by several, he should see more time.

I love that Williams gets everybody in the game.

Re: Friday injury report
 

Yep, and as Hokie (maybe Detillier???) pointed out, in our base defense we'll probably see Randall Gay at CB opposite Porter, but when we switch to the nickel, we'll see Jenkins at CB and Gay at the nickel.

Right now, Gay in our base 4-3 at CB is probably "safer" than Jenkins, but in the nickel, its probably better to shift Gay to NB (which he excels at) and slide Jenkins over to CB.

I think thats what GW did in the Panther game too.

Re: Friday injury report
 

I remember Jenkins getting tangled up with a guy later in that game after JG went out. I was worried he was gonna get a flag on that play. He needs some playing time. He's a special teams beast though.

Re: Friday injury report
 

Yep, there's a learning curve with all rookies, especially at CB, which might be the hardest position on the entire field for rookies to adjust to, right after QB and maybe WR.

This is a good week for him to get some quality PT.

Re: Friday injury report
 

This is a good game for it. He'd be going up against some young receivers. 25th in pass offense. Has anyone else noticed that we've been getting burned on counters and traps? It uses our own aggressiveness against us....bastards!
