The Facts: Watson, listed as questionable after missing practice all week due to a case of appendicitis, has been declared inactive in advance of today's NFC Conference Championship Game.

Diehards Line: Watson was on the field for pre-game warmups so it would appear his chances of being available should the Saints make it to the Super Bowl are good. ... Beyond Watson, WR Keith Kirkwood and RB Dwayne Washington are the skill players ruled out by New Orleans; the Rams will be without RB Justin Davis.
