New Orleans Saints Injury Report: Joe Morgan needs second opinion; Marques Colston returns
 

Saints coach Sean Payton said following Monday's practice that wide receiver Joe Morgan will receive a second opinion on the knee injury Morgan sustained during last Saturday's Black and Gold scrimmage. Payton, however, wouldn't elaborate on Morgan's injury.

Morgan wasn't present at Monday afternoon's practice. Morgan's injury likely led to the team signing veteran wide receiver Steve Breaston on Monday. Breaston practiced Monday but mostly watched from the sideline after being signed that morning.

On a positive note for the Saints, wide receiver Marques Colston and cornerback Patrick Robinson practiced for the first time this training and have been removed from the physically-unable-to-perform list. Neither participated fully in practice, but both worked out in individual drills...

I have a sinking feeling that Morgan is going to end up stashed on IR for another year.

If he heals, the Saints have the option of activating him later in the season.

The Morgan situation doesn't sound great.I guess thats what Breaston jas been brought in to fight out with Salim Hakim and Preston Parker for a spot if the news is bad.

Good to hear Colston is back. I think he will have his best season so far this year.

Patrick Robinson is back today at practice for you guys. What do you think he brings to the secondary?

“That’s a big help to have him back. That’s a guy who’s a student of the game. He’s younger than me but he teaches me a lot. I go to him with questions and things like that. Just to have him back and his presence (is that of) a true ball player. When you get a guy like that back, it helps out the defense. Everybody on the team is glad to have him back.”

I don't know if that should make us worried.

I'm glad Colston and Robinson are back, even if it's in very limited roles to begin with.

I do think Robinson clearly adds more to the defensive backfield than he subtracts from it, so I don't really understand the negative feelings about him returning.

Only "if" they designate him to return.
