08:02 AM ET 08.11 | Marques Colston, reportedly for the fifth time over the past six days, took the day off from practice Wednesday. [But] the veteran said he would be ready to go if the upcoming game were the regular season. ... Colston had a arthroscopic surgery on his right knee just after the 2010 season, but he appeared fine during the practices the Saints players held at Tulane University during the summer lockout, and Colston looked to be ready to go when training camp opened. But his knee developed some irritation and swelling and the decision was made to rest him and, "make sure everything is 110 percent," Colston said. The swelling has not recurred, but the time he has missed from practice has been considerably longer than either he or Coach Sean Payton predicted initially.

Gonna be a great NFL season for orthopedic surgeons.

I stubbed my toe, I think I'll take the day off!

Even when they won it all, I couldn't get excited about the Saints. I guess Colston is in the same boat.

No doubt. As soon as his knee is good, what are the chances he ruptures his Achilles?

Better to have this guy ready for the season... if sitting him for now is the solution, so be it.

I can relate. I've got a papercut on my caps lock finger. Resting it as a precaution.

I think it's adorable that your parents let you use the computer, but wouldn't be more comfortable at a Justin Bieber fansite or something?
