What's up with the Saints? (1 Viewer)

[NFL-ons]

Per Rotoworld:

Saints coach Sean Payton revealed that Marques Colston (knee) will not be at full strength by March OTAs.

Payton hinted Colston might need his knee scoped at his season-ending press conference, and it appears Colston did. The surgery shouldn't sideline Colston when training camp starts in July, but it's a situation to watch.

AND

Payton said Bush, along with Marques Colston (knee), Brian Young (knee) and Mike McKenzie (knee), was one of four players who will not be at full strength for the start of the team's organized team activities March 30. "Those guys are going to be a little slower (with their recoveries). We do have to monitor those guys, but everyone's doing pretty good."

I know one of the reasons Colston fell on draft day was over injury concerns. How many has he had?

I like Colston but if I had him in dynasty I would be concerned. It's not a good sign when a young player has so many recurring injury issues, especially with the knee. Probably it won't be a big deal this season but long term, I don't like it.

When has Colston had a problem with knee before? The only previous injury I've ever heard of him having prior to the thumb this past season was another one with the hand.

High ankle sprain, year 1.
