A quick recap at some of the notable injuries around the league in Week 9.

Darren Sharper remains optimistic as he rehabs from offseason microfracture surgery, but admitted he has “no idea” when he’ll return to the practice field.

The level of concern over the health of Antonio Bryant might have to be raised after the Bengals revealed he has missed four straight practices.

The Saints received good news on the injury front Friday, when CB Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring), FS Darren Sharper (knee) and LB Jonathan Vilma (knee) all returned to practice, albeit in limited fashion.

The Colts and Saints submitted their first practice reports Wednesday with some important players missing from action as both teams begin preparations for Super Bowl XLIV.

The Saints were without FS Darren Sharper (knee), TE Jeremy Shockey (right knee), WR Robert Meachem (left ankle) and CB Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring) at Wednesday’s practice.

The real pressure point of the first round is coming in the second quarter, with picks 8 through 12 all unsigned to this point. That span includes the player who has been absent from his camp the longest thus far — defensive end Aaron Maybin has missed the Bills’ first week of practice. It also includes a wide receiver who many believed would go in the top five (Michael Crabtree of the 49ers) and the first running back selected in the draft (Knowshon Moreno of the Broncos).

Usama Young was a man without a position after the Saints selected Ohio State CB Malcolm Jenkins 14th overall in the NFL draft. But not any longer. The Times Picayune reports that Young will move to free safety — a position change he welcomes.

The Saints released safety Kevin Kaesviharn today after signing veteran free agent Pierson Prioleau, according to the Times-Picayune in New Orleans.

Coach Mike Tomlin, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau and director of football operations Kevin Colbert were among the representatives from the Super Bowl winners at the Ohio State Pro Day in Columbus, Ohio.
