Updated Injury Report - Ivory a "Full go"
 

New Orleans Saints cornerback Randall Gay was held out of practice again Thursday with a concussion after not being cleared by a specialist. Coach Sean Payton said he will be evaluated again on Friday. But clearly Gay is looking like a long shot to play Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in the Superdome. Rookie cornerback Patrick Robinson and veteran Leigh Torrence are the top candidates to fill his spot as the nickel back.
Tailback Reggie Bush (leg) and linebacker Anthony Waters (hamstring) also did not practice Thursday. Safety Usama Young was limited with a quad injury. Tailback Chris Ivory (knee) and offensive tackle Zach Strief (knee) were both upgraded to full participants, making it likely that both will be eligible to play Sunday.

We might see our rookie first round pick getting some snaps this week, will be interesting to see if hes played at nickel back how he holds up!!

I'd like to see some more of Ivory, especially at a full clip. He showed great possibilities in the limited views that I had. He may be able to help us. Please hang on to the ball and make us proud.

Hell yeah I like me some of Poison Ivory!

He ran well at camp, his problem is ball control issues. I'm guessing that he and Payton have had a long talk about his problem with fumbling. If he gets any carries you can bet the Falcons will be going after the ball.

i'm sure we test him early and not in a tight game later. i'm hopeful when and if they give him a shot. he may be that shot in the arm we need after the bush injury. lance moore will get alot of touches. we need him to step up this game period. did anyone see him open monday night ? but not many were open. i think the 9ers had our playbook.

this makes sense of the Wynn cut

Could be nice!!

Yes, cant wait to see him play. Hope hes good

Poison Ivory on the house for all falcunt fans!

Release the Mammoth!

Can't wait to see Ivory.

Over an hour ago - RB Chris Ivory (knee) and T Zach Strief (knee) fully practiced Thursday. It's looking as if Ivory will play Sunday after missing the first two games with a sprained MCL. He should be the No. 2 RB behind Pierre Thomas. Saints RapidReports

Poison Ivory will be all over the field with high yardage and PT will be cruising in front of him.

What is Poison Ivory? and why would you need calamine lotion for it?

Must be thinking about poison "ivy" which is the plant that has poison toxins and not "Ivory" which is Bone that protrudes through various animal species?

Lets not go out there holding signs up saying "poison Ivory" on live TV now lol..

Im just saying.. hope ya'll didn't already start printing that on T-shirts and signs... "gulp".

Oh ok, i didn't know but Where did he post that was his nickname? i've searched everywhere even Tiffin University site, his bio, wiki etc..

Or was it something made up here and got too catchy to stop?

As fans we make nicknames for the players, ya think brees just said hey going into the playoffs i want you to call me breesus. Obviously he didn't but every continues to call it him.

Yeah but Breesus makes a tad bit more sense as a fan-friendly gesture because it manipulates his name into something else, it take one meaning of a word and changing it to something else..
That like calling (Reggie Bush), (Reggie Beans) lol
Ala
(Chris Ivory) (Chris Ivy).. Ivory and Ivy is two different words.

I just think it's people who just grew up mispronouncing Poison Ivy, my mom use to say it Poison Ivory as well as funny as it was she knew it was Ivy and not Ivory..
I understand what the were trying to do it just didn't sound right.

Im just saying!..

Come on ivory

Not everyone, I detest that nickname. And Drew's not very fond of it either.

Cool Brees is OK, but I prefer Drew.

I'm just waiting for Chris Berman to start calling him that.

Watch what you ask for, it could be our undoing. :rolleyes:

Poison !vory Will soon be running rampant thru all opponents systems!! :twisted:

power runner in the nick of time.
