Marques Colston Out 4 Weeks with Broken Collarbone

PrintJay Glazer of Fox Sports has just reported that Saints wide receiver Marques Colston will miss approximately 4 weeks of the season with a broken collarbone, which he suffered late in last night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. From Glazer's Twitter:
M Colston broke his collarbone and will be out approx 4 weeks! Tough loss
That's crappy news. Fortunately the Saints are deep at wide receiver. We know they can be successful without Colston but it sure helps to have him in the lineup.
Colston has always had to take those tough hits on passes caught over the middle and in traffic. Last night was certainly no different.

When is Arrington ever healthy?
God this sucks. Devery and Meachem will be working overtime.
That's interesting. You know what makes me sad? YOU DO!!! Maybe we should chug on over to mambypandyland...or maybe we can find some self confidence for you YA JACKWAGON!!!!!!

Speaking of.
Anyone know when Moore and Aarington will be eligible to play?

Arrington was in the game for a few snaps last night.
They’re just being careful with his knee. Last I heard, Moore should theoretically be ready to go next week. But if we lose someone else, I’m all good with putting FPK on IR.
Happy they kept Adrian Arrington
Now’s his time to shine. It’s now or never for him. Ever since we drafted him three years ago, people have been saying he has the same body type and size as Colston. I think the dream of having him and Colston on the field together at the same time is why Payton has held onto him this long. Can he step up and be a playmaker while Colston is out? He’s made some pretty impressive catches in spot duty and preseason games. Can’t wait to see if he can rise to the challenge.
If not, I hope Lance can return this week. With the extra time we have to prepare for the Bears, he probably will be ready. Devery and Meach need to step up too. Devery looked very good last night, but Meach was a little disappointing. Didn’t like the way he stood there and danced instead of picking up the 1st down on that one 2nd and long play.
We’ve survived without Colston before and we can do it again.

We won't be the only team that'll have to deal with injuries
I’m betting the lockout and the lack of access for players to team training facilities for several months will result in all teams having to deal with even more injuries this season. I expect to read about a lot of injuries after this weekend. Not saying I want to see anyone get hurt, just that it seems very likely.
The sky isn’t falling for us. Not worried.

Moss ain’t coming back to be a four week fill in but if WR is hit with another injury maybe. Though it wouldn’t shock me, besides if Moss caused trouble Saints could just cut him since his contract wouldn’t be guaranteed.
"Saints fans should be sending Paul Tagliabue primo Hollywood quality hookers monthly for the remainder of his life"---Andrew Juge
And the hits keep on rolling. I just hope it doesn’t nag him. I actually like our next few weeks so we shall see. I think Chicago will take a step back. I think we have a nice few weeks coming up before the filthy birds. We split Houston/Chicago and might lose one to Tampa. I will take 6-3 going into the Atlanta game. I would love 7-2 but we shall see.
BTW – It’s going to be 6 weeks before Colston plays again. He probably plays at home to Tampa before the Atlanta game. Keep Lance, Devrey, Sproles and Meach healthy and we will be okay.
Wouldn't that depend on how bad the fracture is?
He stayed in the game after that play where his shoulder was hurt, so it doesn’t seem to be a very serious fracture.

I wonder if we'll see more 2 tight end sets
I’d like to see Graham split out wide more often too, like how the Colts use Dallas Clark. I think Graham can excel in that role.
Well, I wasn't too thrilled with the Baconator last night.
At least as far as his receiving work goes. Great blocker as always, but he dropped his only target of the game.
Amongst our other great receiving corps
Henderson Meachem Moore Aarington. TE Graham.
Yes, we still are a threat in the receiving corps
That's interesting. You know what makes me sad? YOU DO!!! Maybe we should chug on over to mambypandyland...or maybe we can find some self confidence for you YA JACKWAGON!!!!!!
(tears) Tissue?.....Crybaby.
why wouldn't we look at Moss?
Colston filled our #1 slot. Not Arrington, or Henderson or Moore. They all have their own routes. I want another #1 out there.
Moss in the very least, requires attention from the opposing defense. Moreso than Colston I think even. I’d be thrilled at this point…
Hey. I'm all for it.
Payloo, are you listening?

I agree with you on that matter. But what can help is it would create more separation and open space for our receiving corps. All the Dbacks would focus on him. If anything else, use him as a decoy.

not sure his career was over because of injury or..
for not being a serious pro.. he was a 2nd pick.. kinda the “diva” type.. had a drug suspension too.. he did attempt several come-backs..
literally the opposite to colston.. a blue collar guy.. only interested in being good..
really hoping, though that it was not a complete break and only a hairline.. it seems more likely.. since he got up right away even though he was favoring the shoulder..
if the bone breaks or is dislocated completely you go down in agony beyond belief.. even with the game on the line, it would be unbearable..

I didn't like the thought of Moss at first
But the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. He doesn’t have to even learn our offense. Just let him run down the sideline on every play. He would be a great decoy at least. And we just love signing big name decoys down here.

that would be the problem, panic.. getting him to actually run..
he would run on the 1st play he’s in.. & raise his hand.. & if the ball don’t go his way, he’ll just trot the rest of the game.. he was already doing this 10 years ago.. why would he actually try now..?

I would hope he would put forth to effort
to get the one thing he doesn’t have…..a ring. It has to bother the hell out of him to have all those great stats, be a future HOF, and not have a championship.

I think they could explore it, but BIG QUESTION...
Why didn’t it work in TEN and MIN (the second time)?
I’m also not sure he can run anything but a 9 (streak to the endzone) route.

Now you’re talking. Cover the big name guy and leave the field wide open for the rest. Even if he still doesn’t have it like he used too, having a presence like that on the field would be beneficial.

I have a broken collarbone right now
If Marques gets back in under 2 months I’ll be impressed with him and angry with my doctor.
I agree....it's a tough injury
A truck dropped on top of my dad while he was under it. Broke his collarbone and he hasn’t really ever recovered from it. That was several years ago.

Yep, it’s been 3 months for me. I can now lift a coffee cup. I had surgery on mine.
No matter what, it takes a long time for a bone break to heal.
this can't be a complete break..
i was thinking earlier & i think told satch, that surely most players will tough out such injury, get up & line up for the next play.. but i remember seeing a guy breaking his.. & you could tell there was something really wrong..
it momentarily saved the game that he did get up & lined up.. but maybe.. just maybe.. it’s a hairline fracture..

hope they use AA for the #1 spot till he gets back.

Is everyone forgetting
About Courtnet Roby? He’s short, but so is Lance. He’s also damn fast. And from the catches ive seen him make in the preseasons, he’s not half bad.
How are his hands and his catching instinct?
"We got 99 problems, but a Brees ain't one!" by ShadowFlash
we need a stud receiver
all the guys we have are average at best. Where is our Greg Jennings, reggie wayne, or roddy white? if we can get a player like that there will be no stopping us.
Where is our Greg Jennings, reggie wayne, or roddy white?
Brees would be passing for over 6,000 yds instead of over 4,000.
The offense would score 60 points a game with guys like that. Marino’s records would be broken by week 11 or 12 every season.
That's interesting. You know what makes me sad? YOU DO!!! Maybe we should chug on over to mambypandyland...or maybe we can find some self confidence for you YA JACKWAGON!!!!!!
(tears) Tissue?.....Crybaby.
I've been thinking that for a while...
but it would be hard to justify due to the holes in our defense. But could you imagine Brees throwing to Larry Fitz or C. or A. Johnson? Our offense would be unstoppable. We have too many holes on defense though to justify a high draft pick on a receiver…
I disagree with the justification
Look att he Colts. They went one dimensional (Addai for James).and created a defense that was predicated on having a lead….blitzing DE’s. its worked out for them. besides that i would think such a balls-out, attacking, turnover forcing, instant gratification OFF and DEF would turn saints practices into a 3 hour chest bup match between SP and GDUB while they both yell “WHO DAT!!!!!”
But don't get me wrong
I’d love to have a stud receiver, I just don’t think it’s in our future as we already have above average receivers and could improve more in other places
maybe we should take this chance to run the ball more

I'd like think so...
BUT for all of his genius our coach lacks any imagination when it comes to running the ball. We are at the whim of the talent of the backs we have and that quite frankly has been below average for several years now.
updated it for you...

Like stu said above, a broken collarbone is devastating. There’s no guarantee he can come back from it and be the same player he was. TO gives us a legitimate threat. He can run all the routes(not just the 9), and loves to block in the running game. I don’t see a downside. Here are his career stats. in 14 games with CINCINNATI last year, he had 72 catches for 983 yards and 9 touchdowns. No downside.
