Saints WR Colston day-to-day with sprained left ankle
Associated Press
METAIRIE, La. -- Saints leading receiver Marques Colston is day-to-day after sparining his left ankle during Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, coach Sean Payton said Monday.
"We'll treat it and see how much pressure he can put on it," Payton said during his weekly media conference on Monday. "It's just a matter how much weight it can support and how quickly he can come back off of it. Each day we'll get an idea maybe a little bit of his progress."
Payton said Colston had X-rays and an MRI done and all came back negative. The Saints normally limit their Monday schedule to film sessions, meetings and lifting and take Tuesday off. They'll be back on the practice field on Wednesday.
Early in the Saints' first offensive series Sunday, Colston was blocking on a Deuce McAllister running play to his side of the field when he got bowled over from behind by several tacklers.
Colston, a seventh-round draft choice out of Hofstra, had 54 catches for a league-leading 869 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns through the Saints' first nine games, after which he led the league in receiving yardage. With no catches this past weekend, he fell to fifth.
