Saints WR Marques Colston Expected Back This Week


Three weeks after suffering a broken collarbone, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston is expected to return to the lineup this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune reports.

"I wouldn't anticipate him getting 50 snaps but he is cleared," head coach Sean Payton said. "He is in the plan."

Colston, who has been a limited participant in practice this week, caught six passes for 81 yards in the season-opening loss to the Green Bay Packers. Colston was injured while hauling in a critical 23-yard pass on the team's final drive and was expected to miss about four weeks.

The 2006 seventh-round pick out of Hofstra has an incentive to get back on the field: 2011 is the final year of the 28-year-old's contract.
