Joseph Morgan

Saints receiver Marques Colston was also held out of team drills with his shoulder injury -- though he was in attendance for the early portion of practice that was open to the media.

Colston seems unlikely to play Thursday, especially since the Saints re-signed veteran receiver Joseph Morgan, who has been bouncing on and off the roster this year. The Saints released defensive back Don Jones to make room for Morgan.

Colston struggled against the Eagles last week and the announcers pointed out he often kept his arm straight at his side late in the game - obviously making it hard to catch the ball. Willie Snead has emerged as the team's WR2.
