The Facts:
After missing two games with a left knee sprain, Blount will return to the lineup Sunday against the Saints. More important, with Earnest Graham lost for the season with a torn right Achilles', Blount also will remain on the field on most third down situations.
Reported by the St. Petersburg Times
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"Oh yeah, I know I'm going to play third downs in this game," Blount told the Times. "I'm probably not going to play all of them, but I know I'm going to play quite a few of them. ..." When Blount needs a break, Kregg Lumpkin or Mosis Madu will spell him on third down. But Blount learned he would have more of a role in the offense during the walk-through Tuesday morning. As for his knee injury, reportedly an MCL sprain, Blount said his recovery was faster than anticipated. "I feel good. Everything is back in store, everything is where it needs to be," Blount said. ... Sounds like bad news for a Saints' defense that struggled to contain Steven Jackson last Sunday.
