Colston will play Sunday

09-29-2011, 09:41 AM

Colston is back after missing only two games.

“He’s clear. He’ll be up this week,” Sean Payton said in a conference call.

Colston was officially “limited” in practice this week, but it sounds like there’s no doubt he’ll play. The Saints’ multifaceted offense did just fine without Colston, averaging 35 points during two straight wins.

“He’s clear. He’ll be up this week,” Sean Payton said in a conference call.

Like someone stated in another thread. I hope he's ready. I would rather let him heal one more seek and save him for the conference games.

But if he's 100%, Git-er-Done!

Don't think Marcus will be in for more than a few plays against Jacksonville, if at all.

The past couple of weeks should serve notice that we can wait for him to heal properly without missing a beat.

That's crazy fast

I don't like this one bit!! I do not think we need him this weekend - give him some more time off.

DON'T DO IT SEAN. Damn...why doesn't anybody listen to me... LOL

If he plays and is more than a decoy I will become angry...

Honestly, this is great news, but WR hasn't exactly been a weakness with our team.

Would love to hear the news that Darren Sharper is signed for a command performance.....

I agree with you guys, i think we can pull off a W without him. We cant afford to lose him for the rest of the year for rushing him back. LET HIM REST!!

I Think Sean will do the smart thing.

He knows not to rush a player back, if he says Colston will play he probably sugar coating it a little bit, saying he will limit the snaps he gets.

He wouldnt force him straight back into full amount of snaps if he wasnt ready, look for Colston to get about 10-20 snaps in my opinion

Payton might have said that to give the Jag coaches one more thing to worry about!
