Staying healthy may lead Saints' Ingram to stardom
By Joel A. Erickson- The Advocate / Houma Today

The only thing that stands between New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram and the Pro Bowl might be his health.

Ingram is no longer the young first-round pick who struggled to make the transition from Heisman Trophy to the pros; he spent 12 weeks among the NFL's leaders in yards from scrimmage last fall. By almost any measure, he'd pushed his way onto the list of the league's most productive backs.

Then his old adversary reared his ugly head again. With four games left in the season, Ingram tore the rotator cuff in his shoulder, underwent surgery and landed on injured reserve.
