Tracy Porter Out 2-4 Weeks with Sprained MCL

PrintThe Times-Pic has a source claiming that Saints cornerback Tracy Porter has a sprained knee. That's somewhat vague; more specifically Porter's injury is a partial tear in the MCL of his left knee, so they say...
New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter is expected to miss about two to four weeks after suffering an apparent medial collateral injury in his left knee, a league source confirmed...
...tests revealed a slight tear on Monday, according to a source. Porter tweeted the cryptic words, "Why me?"
$&#^*$!!!!!
If it's really torn, I would expect his recovery to be on the longer end of that 2-4 week timeframe.
This, of course, is never good news for the Saints defense. Expect to see more of Randall Gay (Double $&#^$!!!!!) and rookie first-round pick Patrick Robinson (Son of a monkey $&#^$!!!!!!) in his absence. I hope Mike McKenzie has been staying in shape, the Saints might need his services soon enough. I saw him down on the sidelines before the game yesterday.

This is kind of like being the first one to tell somebody they have bad breath. It needs to be said, but no one wants to be the first to do it.
S.O.P. from here on out.

worth repeating
CB is one spot we cannot afford to lose anyone. at least until sharper is back. hypothetical: if sharper & harper are both healthy & porter or greer go down, would jenkins go back to spot CB duty?? i know everyone loves him at FS, and he is most likely gonna spend the next few years there, but do we really want to depend on gay/robinson/young? they are suitable for nickel/dime coverage, but as a #2??
but sharper & harper are NOT healthy…so many (awful) possibilities!
Quite fortunate timing IMO
Arizona, Tampa and Cleveland in the next three followed by Pittsburgh and Carolina again then the bye. Not exactly an offensive onslaught coming up.
Arizona, probably not. Tampa, more debatable. Cleveland, again probably not. And by then at least in theory we should have Sharper and maybe Porter as well if we are lucky.
Not like we have been much of that so far. But bad luck can’t last forever. It can last an entire season tho. Hopefully it won’t.
Not good!
Not good at all. Especially that we are now relying on our defense to win games. Less than 20 points a game isn’t going to cut it.

I see no one putting more than 17 on us at any time, no matter who plays.

17 wouldve won the game yesterday
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!

20 would've been better imo

But it did not happen.
Young came in for Porter and played lights out. He saved the win with defensed passes and sacks. I see no drop off in performance over the next three or four games.

I didn't think it would be that serious
He got up and jogged off the field, no problem. I think he even came back in the game. Very surprising. I don’t like surprises

Three years pro … three significant leg injuries. That Robinson pick isn’t looking so luxurious after all.

I thought his season -ending rookie year injury was a broken wrist
It's gonna be a great year.

It was...
but CP’s point is pretty right on. This is what happened last season. The Saints were fortunate enough to weather the storm. What sucks about this season is that the Saints are a little thing at safety as well.

I was wondering
if they decide to bring Chip Vaughn back. Did he sign with anybody since he got cut? He was good on special teams and appeared decent (not terrible at least) as a SS
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!
Really? Why does a CB even need a wrist? I guess there’s some jamming involved within 5 yards, but that’s not even Porter’s game. I would have taped that b**** like Mummy Dearest and sent him back out on the field. Then again, he wasn’t exactly an integral part of the secondary at the time.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
Which is why I can't understand why they put him back to field a punt
I don’t know when he got hurt, but he is a known injury risk. Don’t make him field punts, one of the highest injury risk plays in the game. He is too valuable as a corner.

If McKenzie comes back
what number will he wear?

he wore #43 his first year with us
but I think Patrick Robinson should give him 34 because he’s messing up the good vibes that Mckenzie gave that number
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!
Agree
I think if MM comes back he needs his number back.

Chris Reis is out for the year too..
Niners just released Michael Lewis, could be an interesting option at safety if Harper isn’t ready for Sunday’s game
HOLY CHIT!

Well
Hopefully Arizona starts Derek Anderson again next week. Apparently he tries his hardest to throw the ball into the other team’s hands so they can run it back for 6.
AND ANOTHER THING!
Look where his kneepads are. Yeah, I’m an old fart, but knee pads used to cover the knees.
I’m just pissed, and more pissed about an 18 game schedule.

Well wait,
Can we convince the Refs he actually has no talent and not count against our 11 men on the field.

no no no…
He was worse than NOTHING…
Statistically speaking, he gave up more yards that completely uncovered receivers.
Want to go to the Saints vs. Cowboys game? I've got an extra ticket.
Then...
He counts as one of the offenses 11 men..Or we bring him back for entertainment and watch him get burned playing in Toyota’s little league.

That's not true...
He could be Jason Dav…..ooooops

Jason David would probably make a decent safety. His downfall was in man-to-man coverage at CB and was exacerbated by the inflated salary it took to get him here. Not like we’d be in a bidding war for him now. Safety is more read and react, i.e., congruent to his zone coverage skills. Of course, there’s no telling what kind of shape he’s in.

rotoworld.com:
Kevin Kaesviharn-DB- Titans Jan. 23 – 12:38 pm et Free agent S Kevin Kaesviharn underwent post-season shoulder surgery. Titans called on the 33-year-old to provide depth late in the season, but he won’t be back in 2010. He’s expected to be fully recovered by OTAs, but he’ll struggle to find a job once again.

Sorry. Epic Fail on my part.
Yeah, these injuries really do suck. I wonder what Payton will do to get a CB and special teams to replace
the situation is scary enough, you don’t need to be giving folks nightmares and flashbacks. Don’t make me look up crap on youtube and post it.
