Three New Orleans Saints missed practice Wednesday, while one other was limited. Despite a back injury, tight end Jimmy Graham practice fully, as did three other starters who are battling injuries.

New Orleans Saints runningback Mark Ingram, defensive end Turk McBride, and linebacker Jonathan Casillas have all been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Several other players are on the injury report as well.

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram missed practice today due to a turf toe injury. His status for Sunday's game in Tennessee is up in the air.

For the first time all season, all four of the New Orleans Saints' top four tailbacks are healthy, and that gives head coach Sean Payton a little bit of a problem. Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles, and Chris Ivory are all healthy and ready to go, but the four backs are one more than Payton would typically like to have. Having four backs that you have confidence in can be a good problem,

New Orleans Saints running back Chris Ivory was updated today to active/physically unable to perform from reserve/physically unable to perform. This means Ivory is now allowed to practice with the team.

New Orleans Saints running back Chris Ivory is healthy and eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list. However, he was not activated today, and until he is removed from the PUP list, he cannot practice with the team. The Saints have a 3 week window to decide whether or not to activate him, release him, or place him on injured reserve.

New Orleans Saints RB Chris Ivory led the team in rushing a year ago as a rookie. His bruising style as a runner took its toll however, and he had two offseason surgeries. As a result, he's spent the beginning of the season on the PUP list. That will change next week, as he should be activated to the 53 man roster. How will coach Sean Payton deal with an already crowded backfield?

Sure, it's WAY too early to jump to any long-term conclusions about any specific players taken in the 2011 NFL Draft. After all, these guys are rookies, and they have a lot of football in front of them. It would be much more logical to put grade on recent first-round draft choices a few years down the road, but we're sports fans, and what fun would that be? So, let's do it now!

Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas. Eric Dickerson and Craig James. Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams. These are a few of the greatest running back duos in college football history. What does the top 10 of all-time list look like?

The New Orleans Saints came up a half yard short of a game tying touchdown on the last play of their season opening 42-34 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Superstar quarterbacks Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers put on an offensive showcase, throwing for a combined 731 yards and 6 touchdowns.

When a team has a quarterback the caliber of Drew Brees, to go along with a crop of receivers the likes of Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Devery Henderson, and Robert Meachem, they be would foolish not to put the football in the air a fair-share of times. The New Orleans Saints will indeed not be bashful about letting the football fly through the air this year, but they also want some balance with

The NFL has undoubtedly become more of a passing league over the years, but that doesn't mean a team doesn't have to have a solid running game to be successful. The New Orleans Saints realize this, and took steps to correct what they perceived as an area that needed improvement over 2010. The Saints traded to draft former Heisman Trophy winning running back Mark Ingram, and signed free agent runni

Who's the "Big 3" on offense, and defense, for the New Orleans Saints? What about the Dallas Cowboys, or the Green Bay Packers, or the Oakland Raiders?

Pierre Thomas is part of a strong group of New Orleans Saints' running backs, which also includes rookie Mark Ingram, and veteran Darren Sproles.

With the likes of rookie Mark Ingram, along with veterans Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles, the New Orleans Saints have a deep, and talented, group of running backs.

When the NFL lockout came to an end, the New Orleans Saints traded running back Reggie Bush to the Miami Dolphins.

Mark Ingram has a lot in common with Reggie Bush. They both play running back. They both played on BCS National Championship teams in college. They both won Heisman Trophies. And they were both drafted in the first-round of the NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. Ingram is a lot different from Bush in a lot of ways too, however.

What a difference a year makes. Last year, the New Orleans Saints running back corps was decimated, due to injuries.

Is New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram a budding NFL superstar?

The New Orleans Saints opened up their 2011 preseason schedule with a convincing 24-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, on Friday night, at the Louisiana Superdome.
