Saints linebacker Martez Wilson will miss 2-4 weeks after sustaining a left elbow injury, according to a league source. Wilson will miss some crucial time in training camp as the new 3-4 defensive scheme is still being installed, but he should be back for Week 1 judging by the timetable.

Wilson left Monday morning's practice after trying to make tackle in the backfield. He walked off the field with a trainer holding his left arm. The Saints are already missing outside linebacker Victor Butler, who sustained a torn ACL during organized team activities.

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

All little common sense goes a long way.

Keep calm, gents. If there were ever an "ok" time to sustain a minor injury it would be NOW. Four weeks from today is the day after Preseason Game 3. Worst case scenario he still gets a few days of practice and a preseason game under his belt before the real thing opens up. I'm trying on a new suit this year. It's called "Optimism". Ha

No need to press the Panic button.

I thought we had plenty of linebackers now all of a sudden I don't feel so good with Butler down and wilson out a few weeks.

Crusader

This is good news, 2-4 weeks mean he will be back before the opener.

He will be back before preseason is over.

How rare does the Dome Patrol Look Now?!?

Just reinforced another level of appreciation for Jackson, Johnson, Swilling, & Mills...

Thank you Tom Benson for never spending the money on a real quarterback; Steve Young is right that it was a crime they never won a Superbowl...

Wilson has been with this team what 2/3 years now and I am not on the bandwagon with him. Potential means nothing if you are not able to bring it when needed. Frankly he has not shown up much to me. Have to look at his stats but I think nothing much is there. I think he is going to be beaten out by one of our recent additions maybe be on the PS possible special teamer. Come on if u are not going to make an impact in that amount of time i don't think your chances are that good.

Hawthorne has to be a starter this year and be what he was in Seattle or someone is going to be very pissed. You dont pay what the Saints are paying him not to do so. Don't know his what it would cost to release him but it is make or break for him.
