let's not get ahead of ourselves here, as i haven't heard anything yet about harper's status for this weekend. speculating here but kaesviharn would move over to harper's position. kaesviharn has good speed and is pretty solid in pass coverage. they were using him in blitz packages during the preseason to attack QB's. if the saints front four continue to pressure and harass the opposing QB then it's going to create opportunities and/or low percentage throws. given KK's skillset, it could mean more INTs and more time on the field.i'm not really worried about bullocks either, despite the fact that he's the weak link. he can suck in run defense but he might not be asked to do much of that because of vilma and fujita anchoring the LB corps.

i don't think he'll play, honestly. they want him healthy and they aren't going to risk losing him for more games.Out of practice Wednesday and Thursday.....What are the odds he plays this week? 50/50, better, worse?

This means I'd have to roll with Marlin Jackson or Pacman in a tackle heavy league. That's a big downgrade. I'll be sitting in front of a computer on Sunday about 11:30 CST making this decision.Did notice he wasn't even listed at all on the Friday injury report.I started Witherspoon with confidence last week when he wasn't listed on the injury report despite previous concern about a potentially serious hamstring injury. He stunk up the joint this past week despite having a favourable matchup. I won't make the same mistake with Harper. Better to wait and see for a week if possible. But, if you have no better option then start him and hope I guess.

i was reading the T-P earlier today. there was a live web-chat and the topic of harper came up. the local beat guy said that harper wasn't practicing wed or thursday. that's the most telling thing about the injury status to me. they did say he was mobile and active on the sidelines with the physical rehab, so it is possible that he could play. regardless, i think the fact that he's mobile and active suggests that this is not a serious long term injury like hammy related ones often are.

Harper will not play this week.
They also ruled out three starters for Sunday's game at Washington - linebacker Scott Fujita (knee), safety Roman Harper (hamstring) and cornerback Randall Gay (hamstring/illness).
