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.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
