myhousekey Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Saints notes including a little more info on PT from today: jeffduncantp: #Saints QB Drew Brees is NOT on the injury report. He's got soreness in his left knee. He's wearing a brace. Payton: "He functioned fine." #Saints injury report: P.Thomas (ankle), R.Harper (hamstring), A.Waters (ham), R.Bush (leg), did not practice. U.Young (quad), limited Payton said bringing up DeShawn Wynn from the practice squad "is an option." He wants to see how Pierre Thomas progresses Payton said John Carney had a great workout on Tuesday. "He was real consistent," Payton said Official_Saints: Payton on what he saw in Carney's workout "He was consistent. He didn't miss a kick."

countryroads Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Man this screws me. My league does the WW tonight and if I pick him up I'll have to drop a rb. I wish we did our WW on Thursdays so we could have a better idea of the injurys. Don't know if I should take the chance and drop someone and then have PT play.

CaptainHook Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 yeah, I'm not surprised he missed practice today. I bet that thing swelled up after the game! Hopefully he is good to go come Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butkus Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) So is Ivory the the clear cut backup to PT? Might need to go grab him... Edited September 29, 2010 by Butkus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Friday is the key practice to see what will happen. I won't be surprised if he sits out of practice all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I just picked up a player who has NEGATIVE points for the season. 13 yards, 1 fumble = -.7 points. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWBOUND33 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 P.T. will play. The fact that he went back in shows it's not a serious injury. *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Ivory looked awful last week. I'm a Pierre Thomas owner, and I'm not even considering picking him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butkus Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I agree w/ Capn about Ivory last week. Thus my question. I find it hard to belive that guy is a stop gap, but he's on a team that can move the ball and you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryroads Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Jackson is on a team that can move the ball as well. That doesn't mean anything if the guy just can't put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinatown dragons Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 So is Ivory the the clear cut backup to PT? Might need to go grab him... I read if PT can't go it will be Ladell Betts, not Ivory, getting the start.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Is Betts worth an add? He sounds pretty used up but one of my teams is in really bad shape with regard to running backs. It is a very deep league and there is no one else left on the waiver wire... Edited October 1, 2010 by Gdawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the exact same question, I already have Ivory on my team, but am concerned that betts will get most of the work if PT doesnt play.

I think Ivory will get the same # of looks wether or not PT plays. Betts becomes valuable only if PT doesnt play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry your little head about Betts. Granted, NO paid him $800,000 to basically sit on their bench, but Ivory will get the carries if PT is out. I actually really like Ivory and think he could be a solid starter if he had the opportuntiy. Don't let last week discourage you. He was coming off a pretty serious injury. Ivory will run all day, especially if Brees doesn't play or even if he does. They will need to keep the pressure off of him so not to make the existing inury worse.

I thought I read Betts was getting most of the first string reps in practice. That seems the case.... According to Brian Allee-Walsh of NewOrleans.com, Ladell Betts would handle feature back duties if Pierre Thomas (ankle) is kept out of Sunday's game against the Panthers.Pass protection remains a major issue for rookie Chris Ivory, so the coaching staff would likely keep him in a niche role as a short-yardage back. Betts is taking the bulk of the first-team snaps this week, though coach Sean Payton is still hopeful that Thomas will return to practice on Friday.

myhousekey Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) From a Times Picayune chat going on right now on Nola.com James Varney, TP: OK, Pierre Thomas was at practice but his status is unclear until Sean Payton discusses it later today. Obviously the fact he was even on the field, which he has not been the last couple of days, would indicate there is a chance he will play Sunday. But you've got to think it's still iffy, and even if he is on the active roster he can't possibly be close to 100 percent and thus the Saints will have to tweak their game plan to reflect that. Whether that means more carries for Ivory, more carries for Betts, or an on-field role for a DeShawn Wynne called up from the practice squad remains to be seen. ETA: Not a PT note but an added Saints note. WR Adrian Arrington, who was cut to make room for Carney, cleared waivers and was resigned to the practice squad. It looks like WR Montez Billings was released from the PS to make room. WWL.com ReportingCoach Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints today said running back Pierre Thomas (ankle) and safety Roman Harper (hamstring) were limited in practice and will be questionable for Sunday's home game versus the Carolina Panthers Edited October 1, 2010 by myhousekey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryroads Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I wish someone actually knew what was going on with his ankle. If he isn't 100% is he gonna be worth playing. I use him as a rb but could start Santana Moss in his place. This whole situation is driving me nuts! Welcome to Fantasy Football I guess.

He injured it, luckily it wasnt a break or a high ankle sprain. Seems like he tweaked it and they kept him out of practice so it can heal. They may keep him out this week so it can rest, we will not know until Sunday morning/afternoon. That will not change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
