He missed practice Weds. for a knee injury and he's questionable for the game against tampa. So I dont think he will miss the game, but I wouldn't be shocked if they hold him out and save him for the playoffs. Like what other people are saying i think we could beat tampa without him.

Payton said Colston had an arthriscopic procedure on his knee on Tuesday and did not practice. He's listed as questionable.

The doctor that scoped my knee when I had a meniscus tear told me that he did the same procedure on a Louisiana Tech player on a Wednesday and he played that Saturday. He said there is nothing structurally which would prevent playing, but that it would be painful. He added that even that can be taken care of.

He's out. We'll be lucky if he's back for the Conference Championship. knee scopes means there's a fair bit of inflammation and peripheral damage. It will take at least 1 week for the swelling to dissipate and another week for meaningful healing. That's missing the Bucs then the Rams. If he has any pain cutting or pushing off, he's out against the Clowns.

It depends upon how intrusive it is. If is simply a little shaving of a flayed meniscus the down time would be minimal.

Either ways - yuk and damn

any news on Ivory?

He'll probably be active and play if we have to have him. Although Payton does a good job of rehabbing his players and not rushing them too much.

Coach Sean Payton confirmed that Marques Colston underwent a knee scope because the team believed it wasn't serious enough to keep him out for the playoffs.

Colston is officially questionable for this week's game, but it would be a major surprise if he ends up playing. Instead, the Saints seem to be aiming for a return next week against the NFC West champ -- provided the Falcons win Sunday.
