Hernia Surgery for New Orleans RB Chris Ivory

New Orleans Saints running back Chris Ivory has undergone sports hernia surgery, Saints head coach Sean Payton announced after practice Friday.

Ivory, a rookie free agent last season who became a key contributor during the 2010 season, had missed all of camp while still recovering from foot surgery.

Payton said Ivory had the surgery in Philadelphia and that it should be about a three-week recovery period. The Saints' first regular season game is Sept. 8 at Green Bay.

On Thursday the Saints released reserve running back Lynell Hamilton. The top backs healthy right now are Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram and Darren Sproles.

Fantasy Impact: 

With newcomers Ingram and Sproles on board and Thomas healthy again, Ivory's playing time was going to be limited even before the surgery. He helped fantasy owners in 2010, but it doesn't look like he'll be helping anyone in 2011 and shouldn't be drafted.

New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton said running back Darren Sproles' role will be similar to the one Reggie Bush played for the past five seasons but didn't go into much detail. With his versatility and elusiveness, though, Sproles brings a Bush-like skill set to a backfield loaded with talent - Pierre Thomas, Chris Ivory, Lynell Hamilton and eventually Mark Ingram.

Even if Sproles doesn't gain a yard in the regular offense, he should at least inject life into the Saints' tepid return game. Payton is intent on improving those units, and they'll be a point of emphasis during training camp. The addition of Sproles, who's scored touchdowns twice on punt and kickoff returns, should go a long way toward that goal.

Fantasy Impact: 

If Sproles is the new Bush, he'll have some value in PPR and return yardage leagues. Overall, Ingram will probably have the most to offer fantasy owners, but the New Orleans backfield is overcrowded to say the least.

Two New Orleans coaches this week insisted, despite the selection of Mark Ingram in the first round two months ago, the team is not shopping tailback Pierre Thomas.

"He's here," said one coach when asked about some reports that Thomas. "We've seen firsthand that you can't have enough (backs)."

That said, the Saints have a real logjam at tailback with Thomas, Ingram, Chris Ivory, Julius Jones and Lynell Hamilton, also returning from injury. That doesn't even account for Reggie Bush, who sources from both sides still insist has a chance of returning to the club, despite a scheduled $11.8 million payout due in '11.

A handful of New Orleans Saints players showed up for organized workouts Tuesday at Tulane despite the fact that they're still recovering from offseason surgeries. Among them were receiver Marques Colston, who had clean-up surgeries on his knee and wrist; receiver Robert Meachem, who had ankle surgery; offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb, who had his quad reattached to his knee this offseason; tailback Lynell Hamilton, who missed last season with a knee injury; and safety Chris Reis, who had shoulder surgery last year.

Colston said he's not 100 percent quite yet, but he was able to move around on the practice field and said he expects to be healed by training camp, if there is one.
