Lynell Hamilton done for the year (pg.3 update)

papz · 08-11-2010, 03:45 PM

A Wednesday MRI confirmed that Saints RB Lynell Hamilton suffered a torn ACL at this morning's practice.

He's out for the year. The 2010 season is setting up very well for Pierre Thomas, who now has only marginal talents P.J. Hill and Chris Ivory to fend off for goal-line carries. Short-yardage backs won't be hard to find after final cuts, but anyone acquired in September will take time to learn the offense. Thomas should open the year as New Orleans' top option in the red zone. Aug. 11 - 4:31 pm et

Herb Donaldson may be available after final cuts. He's pretty familiar with our offense.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
