Sedrick Ellis Out 2-4 Weeks

Just when we start getting some of our many injured players back in the game, we lose yet another key player to injury. Here's a LINK to the full article from the Times-Pic. At least it's not a season-ending injury. This may bode well for the Viking run offense Monday night. Adrian Peterson has just become an even bigger worry for Saints fans.

Sedrick Ellis, a rookie defensive lineman from Southern California, will miss two-four weeks with a torn medial meniscus, it was announced today after it was scoped this morning.

Ellis, the New Orleans Saints first pick in the 2008 NFL draft, has nine tackles, ranking 15th among rookies, and a sack. He got that sack against San Francisco's J.T. O'Sullivan last Sunday. He was also credited with a quarterback hurry.

Add it to the list!!

thin at DT

Depth at this position continues to be a problem for this team. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a bit more action for Charles Grant at DT, with more Bobby McCray and Josh Savage at defensive end. Maybe a signing late this week at DT as well. Remember we tried McKinley Boykin when Lake got hurt.

Run support from Roman Harper becomes even more crucial.

Minnesota is getting all the hype in the run game as far as the Ellis injury because of Peterson, but tough running teams in Oakland, Carolina, and San Diego lay ahead for the Saints prior to the bye week. Running the ball for all of those teams will be crucial, trying to shorten the game and keep Brees and company off the field.
