Beyond Chris Chamberlain's season-ending injury, New Orleans Saints MLB Curtis Lofton and WLB David Hawthorne both suffered injuries in the Saints preseason loss to the Jaguars on Friday night.

Re: Saints Starting Linebackers Suffer Injuries and Suspention
Man... Nobody ever tells us anything during the games. I never had a clue anything was wrong until today. I vote for the starters not to take another snap this preseason. This is just dumb at this point.

Re: Saints Starting Linebackers Suffer Injuries and Suspention
not surprising... Maybe they will be there in the reg season and maybe not. Who knows.

Re: Saints Starting Linebackers Suffer Injuries and Suspention
I hope our offense can score 75 points a game because or defense aint stopping ****. We seriously have no LBers worth a damn left. One of you guys who knows more about LB's around the league tell me who is out there that could possibly get cut is worth picking up.

Chamberlain's injury is unfortunate. Don't know anything about Humber. |

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
Lofton will not play opening day nor will Hawthorne, 6 to 8 weeks is the normal recovery time for a high ankle sprain so I would be happy to see Lofton by week 4. Hawthorne will end up missing 4 weeks and be back for week 2 hopefully. I would be shocked if we had both for opening day. We will need to move Wilson back to LB, and should look at bringing is Shawn Merriman or Joey Porter.

Including prep for HOF game, that puts them going straight since about the end of July. Today is the 20th of August. |

Jesus, where is Jo-lonn Dunbar when you need him, for a backup he was better than vilma

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
Just a couple of days ago I thought we looked pretty good at LB'er.

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
A high ankle sprain can be a season-long injury that nags Lofton... He may be able to play come week 1 but will he be 100%?

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
You can play on a bum ankle. Tommy Meyers had a high ankle sprain for about twelve years.

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
We still have Casillas. IF he can stay healthy....

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
What about this dude.... Shawne Merriman released by Bills after one season - NFL.com

I also think if Merriman will take a paycut he's worth giving another look. Article says he been injured up to 10 games a year since '07. He's not worth 10 mill a year which is probably why the bills cut him. Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2 |

I see the thread in the NFL forum http://blackandgold.com/nfl/48556-bi...-merriman.html Sure you didn't start it there? If they moved it they probably felt it not all Saints related. We have been having to move a LOT of threads lately, especially the Falcon related ones... |

Might be time to move your thread back here though. It's a valid question for sure. |

We need a flexibility coach. Every year the same shat; different position.

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
i'm not seeing loftons ankle a biggie, he played on it guys, never excusing himself is a solid as i've see vilma play with injury. a tad slower but there leadership is as fast as any backer. lofton's not worried = i'm not either. picking up a backer now before there's none to get is loomis working it again. his magic i believe in.

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
Ankle sprain, 6-8 weeks for a regular human being, 1-3 weeks for a NFL player with a professional training staff behind him. I am not worried at all about that, not Hawthornes knee either.
And pleas lets stay away from Merriman, he is just downright horrible. I rather just see us pick up any scrub from the street. |
Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
Remember colston came back from a dislocated shoulder in 3 weeks due to the hyperbaric air chamber thing, hope lofton and hawthorne are using it

Re: Saints Linebackers Suffer Injuries and a Suspention
A high ankle sprain can ruin your season, just ask Pierre Thomas.
