Why would they need to fake injuries with Reggie on the team?

Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.

I think Reggie was getting fake and real injuries mixed up. He had so many of the latter, after all…

Anybody seen or heard an Injury Report for the Saints?

They have one up on the Jags blog that has Colston practicing. In addition it would seem that 3 of our top 4 Linebackers DNP.

Miller......noooooooo.....

Don’t know for sure but after looking at the games/replays, Swanson Miller is stronger & got more of a push than King. I know we don’t have Urlacher or Briggs or Willis but our LBs change every year because of offseason moves & injuries. The way we play now, all they need is a little more time playing together and they’ll be better than alright.
