New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter is expected to miss about two to four weeks after suffering an apparent medial collateral injury in his left knee, a league source confirmed.


Porter came back into Sunday's game briefly after suffering the injury during the Carolina Panthers' final offensive drive. But tests revealed a slight tear on Monday, according to a source. Porter tweeted the cryptic words, "Why me?"


Saints Coach Sean Payton did not offer an update on Porter's status during his Monday press conference. He talked about the safeties who left Sunday's game, then added, "We have a few other nicks."

New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter expected to miss 2-4 weeks with sprained knee, according to source | NOLA.com

At least its only a sprain. He should be ready for the Pittsburgh game.

Time for Robinson to grow up.

If you could hand me 5-1 on those games right now, I'd be all over it...

In a great big hurry.

He played a ton against ATL. Not well, but...

We just can't escape the injury bug... it seems like it's a constant issue with our team. Luckily for us our upcoming schedule is pretty weak... hope these guys get healthy fast. I'd hate to face Pittsburgh undermanned.

Awesome you had me roll'in

man, porter just seems to rap his body around tackles like a rubber band. he needs to lock his legs up when terrorizing wrs. this is from the same guy who wanted to teach ricky williams how to fall without getting hurt. lol

Robinson may take over and never look back.

I don't think anyone would have a problem with that if he outplayed Porter...Now thats going to be like climbing Everast, but if he does it, more power to us. Can you imagine Porter playing as a nickel back? SCARY

I hope Robinson steps up and plays good!!!

i've seen the recover speed robinson has when he flopped on a coverage. you can see what the scouts and payton saw in him. but till he takes that word recover out of his portfolio. porter's job is still his. i would welcome robinson to the starting rotation if he advances rapidly though,

I think its Porters job, whilst he's injured Robinson should fill in. But we talking bout the Legend Killa here, Can't replace the kind of plays that porter makes. If Robinson advances real quickly our pass D should be pretty darn good, When Porter comes back Robinson should be at nickel.

when is sharper back? need his leadership to help the kid(robinson)

True, all the physical tools are there, and then some.

When the mental part becomes 2nd nature, he may be our best CB.

injuries injuries injuries. man... make it stop

Are you THE "SupaSaint", with the mullett and all?

Something is going on w/ our dome turf, or practice facility. It just seems like the injuries our team sustains, year-in and year-out, are more substantial than other teams.

Am I the only one that feels this way? Last year, didn't we have more players, by-far, than anyone else on IR, in the playoffs?

It just seems like a negative trend that we continue to have to fight...

Hoping Porter's healthy enough to make it back for Halloween night to trick the Steelers.

Sharper says a couple more games and he's coming back. Hope that is true 'cause I sure miss #42 and the attitude he brings to the field. Not to mention that "Sharper Shake";)

I hope it's a beautiful day in Mr. Robinson's neighborhood (w/o the landlord)

Worried here too.:( Keep the faith.
Some bad luck right now, but that means who is out there on game day will have to work harder. The Saints can do this...still.:bng:
