Tracy Porter Hospitalized after neck injury

papz · 11-06-2011, 05:45 PM

Saints CB Tracy Porter is back with the team after leaving Sunday's win over the Bucs on a stretcher.

He has full use of his arms and legs after checking out neurologically, and is experiencing soreness in his chest and neck. Porter's status for Week 10 is uncertain, but it's great news that the scary injury isn't more severe.

(I didnt see the hit, as we were in the crowd, who couldnt get in because of the heightened security.)

Good to hear Porter's ok. I saw his legs moving, but then the took a lot of time preparing to move him, so it was pretty scary. Then when they were carting him off, I was hoping he's give some sort of thumbs up, but he didnt move anything going off the field.

I like the way Romig announced, "From Port Allen, Louisiana, Tracey Porter..."

Get better fast, #22!

On TV they showed him going off the field on the cart, fist pumping and giving a thumbs up to the crowd and his teammates.

The other corners stepped up in his place.

yep, you're right. I saw it on the highlights today.

I couldnt see it from my angle in the Terrace... you know, when they get really close to the exit, you cant see where I am. Surprised they didnt show it on the big screen.

Glad to know he's ok.
