GrimReefa Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/4978842 Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com Posted: 25 minutes ago The New Orleans Saints nightmarish season has turned even worse.FOXSports.com has learned that the initial test on Pro Bowl RB Deuce McAllister has shown a torn ACL, meaning McAlister will miss the rest of this season. McAllister limped off the field with approximately seven minutes remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's horrific 52-3 loss to Green Bay after twisting his right knee at the end of a screen pass. Initial x-rays were negative but the team didn't make a final prognosis until further examination today. The Saints will get McAllister a second opinion before deciding on definitive season-ending surgery but all indications are that the injury will need to be repaired surgically. The Saints have endured one of the most painful seasons in league history. Their organization has been reduced to a constant traveling team without a true home stadium due to Hurricane Katrina. Their performance has been greatly affected by the tragedy, and the loss of their best player certainly cannot help measures. McAllister has rushed for 1,000 yards or more in each of the last three seasons, and had 1,641 rushing yards in 2003. Antowain Smith and Aaron Stecker are listed behind McAllister on the Saints' depth chart at running back. Smith had 12 carries for 36 yards in Sunday's loss to Green Bay. Whew! I came thiiiiiiiiis close to drafting him over Portis for my fantasy team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
