METAIRIE, La. Barry Sanders Lions Jersey . -- Sean Payton made the end of Jabari Greers season official on
Tuesday, announcing that the starting quarterback would be placed on
injured reserve because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left
knee.
Greer was injured on a play in which he leaped to break up a pass
intended for Jon Baldwin in the first half of New Orleans victory over
San Francisco on Sunday. His knee buckled and appeared hyper-extended
when he landed, and he was carted to the locker room.
Payton had hinted Monday that the injury was serious, but waited until
Tuesday to disclose the ACL tear and report the roster move.
New Orleans also has signed defensive back Trevin Wade, who was drafted
by Cleveland and played much of last season, but had been a free agent
throughout this season.
Wade was signed to add depth. Payton said second-year cornerback
Corey White is expected to take over Greers starting role, as he did
during last Sundays game, in which he had an interception.
"Hes been consistent this season," Payton said of the 6-foot-1,
205-pound White. "Hes been a very good tackler. He has good size and
length. Hes strong and very quickly got adjusted to a lot of the snaps
that he had outside. I think he has good football instincts as well and I
think that serves him well on game day."
Defensive co-ordinator Rob Ryan said White has "really been an ascending
player."
"He has been outstanding. He is a physical player. He is a smart kid. He
is getting better and better," Ryan said. "Weve lost some great players
along the way and we are so fortunate to have excellent players behind
him and that is what this Corey White has been doing, begging for an
opportunity. He is going to be great when he gets in there."
White said he was sorry about the circumstances that led to his central
role on the defence, but sounded optimistic that he was ready for it.
"Its unfortunate that Jabari went down like that with him being a good
leader on and off the field for us. Thats tough," White said. "But we
always believe in all our teammates here and we believe in the next man
up. Im pretty sure Jabari believes in me and so does every one of my
secondary teammates, so well see how it goes."
As much as Ryan raved about White, he did not diminish the loss of
Greer, a popular 10-year veteran who was part of the Saints Super Bowl
team.
"He is a great person. We will miss him in the locker room most. But he
was having a great year," Ryan said. "He was doing everything we asked
him to do and then some."
Payton said the Saints signed Wade because they thought he handled
nickel back responsibilities well in Cleveland last season and because
he had a good workout in New Orleans.
"Hes someone that has decent speed but very good feet," Payton said.
"Well see how he gets up to speed with what were doing. That will take a
little bit."

prohibits striker Luis Suarez from all soccer activities for four
months. The ban also covers Uruguays next nine international games,
which rules him out of next years Copa America.A group of 13 U.S.
Senators is trying to ratchet up the pressure on soccer officials to
hold next summers FIFA Womens World Cup on a natural grass field instead
of on artificial turf.

TSN has obtained a copy of a letter the senators sent Nov. 7 to FIFA and
the U.S. Soccer Federation to ask for their support after recent
efforts by a group of 40 top international players to lobby the Canadian
Soccer Association have been met by silence.

The players say they are being discriminated against because the mens
World Cup has never been played on artificial turf. Turf, they say,
increases the risk of injury and overheating.

Artificial turf both increases the risk of serious injury and
fundamentally changes the way the game is played. FIFA has never used
turf fields for the mens World Cup… As members of the United States
Senate, we are deeply concerned with FIFAs treatment of these players.
We urge you to begin good faith negotiations with these athletes, free
of retaliation and with the equal treatment that they deserve, the
senators wrote.

The letter is signed by Senators including New Yorks Charles Schumer
from New York, Californias Dianne Feinstein and Ohios Sherrod Brown.

Its unclear how much leverage the U.S. Soccer Federation has over FIFA
and the CSA.

In a letter sent Nov. 7 to FIFA President Sepp Blatter, the senators
wrote: FIFA itself has recognized the inferiority of turf to natural
grass. Inn March, FIFAs weekly magazine published an article titled, How
Bad are the Artificial Turf Pitches? in which the author points out
that male athletes routinely refuse to play on artificial turf, deeming
it unacceptable, and widely regarded as deeply problematic. Calvin Johnson Lions Jersey. .

The letter comes a week after lawyers alleged some of the aggrieved
players have been illegally threatened with reprisals for their
complaint by groups including the U.S. Soccer Federation.

In an Oct. 27 letter to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, obtained
by TSN, lawyer David Wright asks for three players to be removed from
the list of applicants: Teresa Noyola of Mexico; and Camille Abily and
Elise Bussaglia of France.

While the reprisal threats are reprehensible and actionable, they have
thankfully backfired in terms of reducing the total number of named
players in this action, Wright said in his letter. As three have
withdrawn, we are now able to list at least 60 current individual
applicants.

The players complaint over the turf dispute was filed Oct. 1 with the
Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, days after FIFA officials started to
inspect the six venues that will host the June 6-July 5 competition. The
tournament will be held in Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg,
Moncton and Montreal.

A spokeswoman for the Canadian Soccer Association has repeatedly
declined to comment, referring questions to FIFA.
