New Orleans Saints kick returner and special teams standout Courtney Roby was cleared by independent doctors to return to the playing field, Payton said.

Roby missed Sunday's loss after suffering a concussion against the visiting Rams on Dec. 12.
Now that Roby, who was carted off the field at the Superdome and spent a night at Ochsner Hospital, has been cleared by an independent physician, his return to the lineup is in the hands of the Saints' team doctors.
The NFL has a strict policy regarding concussions, demanding that the injured players get clearance from inside and outside the team's medical staff.
"He has done that and cleared," Payton said of Roby's evaluation by the independent doctors.
INJURY UPDATE: Payton said tests on the left knee of cornerback Jabari Greer all came back negative.
Greer left Sunday's game in the second quarter and didn't return.
"The test results we got have all been negative, so we'll just see where he's at," Payton said.

Also says looking for a return of Ivory and Hargrove.
