Saints receive good news about Nicks' knee; Ingram sits with knee swelling

papz · 08-25-2011, 07:27 PM

Head coach Sean Payton said he expects rookie running back Mark Ingram to play against the Oakland Raiders this weekend even though he has been missing practice since Saturday's game with some knee issues.

Payton said Ingram would likely practice Thursday and play Sunday in the nationally-televised tilt.

"Our expectations are that he'll be a go," said Payton.

Ingram was far from the only player sitting out practice, Payton said the following players missed work Wednesday: Ezra Butler, Tom Johnson, Johnny Patrick, Jeff Charleston, Fabian Washington, Will Herring, Chris Taylor, Aubrayo Franklin, Clint Ingram, Roger Allen, Jarred Fayson, Carl Nicks, Mark Ingram, Junior Galette, and Mitch King.

I'm going to bring a spare jersey to the games in case they need me out there.

Just throwing this out there...Does anyone else think that perhaps some of what we are seeing (seemingly increasing #'s of injuries) has to do with the "steroid era" taking place?

Makes you wonder, anyway.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
