OXNARD, Ca. - Saints head coach Sean Payton said that starting guard Carl Nicks had his knee examined after leaving practice early Monday. He was not able to elaborate further, but any injury to the offensive line stalwart would be closely monitored.
In addition, Payton confirmed that DT Aubrayo Franklin - a key offseason pickup - would probably be out 2-3 weeks with an MCL sprain. In addition: Two players still remain on the failed physical list – RB Chris Ivory and DE Greg Romeus. Guys that did not practice due to injury – LB Ezra Butler (left hamstring), DT Tom Johnson (left calf), CB Johnny Patrick (right knee), DE Jeff Charleston (left ankle), CB Fabian Washington (right hamstring), LB Will Herring (right calf), that was from the game and we think it will be a couple days with him. Payton: Nicks leaves practice with knee injury; Franklin out 2-3 weeks | wwltv.com New Orleans |
no news is good news.

We've got a problem and I can't deny it any longer. At first I thought it was the conditioning coach or the trainers. I haven't ruled either out yet. But our doctors have misdiagnosed injuries repeatedly also. Somewhere there is an answer. It would be nice to get this figured out.

Can we consolidate all the injury discussion into one thread?

But, as I pointed out a few weels ago, several reporters (mostly TP) were prepared to ask Coach Payton about the rash of Sports Hernia injuries that the Saints have incurred. The question never was asked - fear of "public record?" But sports hernia? Over ten cases? The question begs to be asked. Now injuries and the NFL are a long, bad marriage; but when you see the same, multiple injuries, you have to examine training, if for no other reason, to rule out cause... I just posted the guy's picture because you would think that if the guy is a conditioning coach, his essential essence, then why does he look like one of the Bubba Bros I enjoy Crawfish and Beer with? |
