Training Camp - August 7, 2007

Made it to Saints Training Camp on Tuesday, August 7th.

Starting left tackle Jammal Brown, was injured in practice Tuesday and was carted off the field by team trainers this morning.

Head Coach Sean Payton said that the injury was to Brown’s right knee, but that from preliminary reports, Payton was encouraged. “(Head athletic trainer) Scottie (Patton) felt pretty good about the stability of it,” said Payton. “A lot of times you can tell right away if there is looseness in the joint. There appeared to be good stability.”

The good news is that Brown suffered a bruised right knee. The results of an MRI taken this morning show that there is not any structural damage to his knee.

Coach Payton also said on Tuesday that Will Smith has a virus and is throwing up some. Coach Payton also said he was going to excuse Will Smith for the next couple of days with the passing of his grandmother. Our prayers go out to Will and his family.
