New Orleans coach Sean Payton is playing it straight by the rules when it comes to injuries this week.
Since the Saints don’t play until Monday night, they don’t have to issue an injury report until Thursday. And Payton’s not giving away any information before he has to.
Meeting with the New Orleans media Tuesday, Payton wouldn’t reveal any details about the knee injuries suffered by defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis or fullback Heath Evans in Sunday’s victory against Miami.
“What I’m going to do is Thursday really fill you guys in on where we’re at with not only Sedrick and Heath, but also Scott Fujita, kind of give you an outline as to how we see the week unfolding and right now we’ll just leave it at that,’’ Payton said.
