Buccaneers in a 3:25 kick off with major playoff implications on the line. A Saints' victory
Sunday would guarantee them a spot in the playoffs. If the saints win the Carolina Panthers lose to the Atlanta Falcons the Black & Gold would claim the coveted No. 2 seed. The Saints put themselves in a somewhat precarious situation following their disappointing 17-13 road loss to the Panthers last Sunday. The Saints announced yesterday they have placed rookie first-round pick safety Kenny Vaccaro on injured reserve after he suffered a season ending ankle injury in the loss to Carolina. The Saints also announced the signing of corner back Terrence Frederick from the Cleveland Browns' practice squad. Frederick, 5-10, 187-pounds, a former Texas A & M star, was drafted last year by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 246th pick overall. A number of Saints' players were listed as limited in practice including signal caller Drew Brees with some type of knee issue. Brees' favorite target in recent weeks, Marques Colston, was also listed as limited for Sunday's big game with Tampa Bay. Buccaneers' guard Carl Nicks, a fifth-round pick of the Saints in 2008, earned two pro bowl appearances with the team during his four-year tenure with the Black & Gold.
