Nick Vannett (knee) expected to miss several weeks

Nick Vannett is expected to miss two-to-four weeks due to a knee injury that he suffered in the Saints preseason game on Monday against Jacksonville.

Fantasy Impact: It appears Vannett has avoided disaster as he could have been sidelined for a more significant time. Adam Trautman also suffered a knee injury on Monday which does not appear to be serious according to reports, but he remains without a clear timetable. These injuries have opened up the door for former wide reciever turned tight end Juwan Johnson to see a bigger role in the passing game starting in the Saints third and final preseason game.
