Saints CB Jabari Greer sustained a concussion in last week's overtime win over the Cowboys.

Greer is unlikely to get cleared in time for Sunday's meaningless finale against the Panthers. Rebounding from offseason sports hernia surgery, he'll finish with 51 tackles and three interceptions in 14 games. Greer will return as the Saints' starting left corner in 2013.

Interim Saints coach Aaron Kromer says LCB Jabari Greer's hip/groin injury "looks good."

It sounds like Greer will be ready to roll following the Saints' Week 6 bye. Greer is having a poor season, but it would be bad news for the Saints' embattled defense were he to miss any more time.

Saints LCB Jabari Greer was forced from Sunday night's game against the Chargers with a groin/hip injury, and will not return.

Greer left the game early in the first half, and was formally ruled out in the third quarter. It's most unwelcome news after Greer missed Week 1 with a groin ailment. New Orleans' secondary was struggling both before and after Greer's departure. Corey White has taken Greer's spot in the base defense, with Johnny Patrick seeing snaps in the slot.

Saints LCB Jabari Greer was scratched for Week 1 due to a groin injury.

Greer's absence was a bit of a surprise because he practiced all week, albeit in a limited manner. If the Saints felt they could give Greer a week of rest and still take down the Redskins, they were mistaken. Greer's status for Week 2 against the Panthers is uncertain. The Saints need their top corner back.

Saints LCB Jabari Greer (hernia surgery) is "progressing real well."

"I'm feeling good, I'm ready to get back," Greer said Monday. "...I'm starting to get some movement back and I feel real good." The New Orleans Times-Picayune doesn't expect Greer to suit up in the preseason, but believes he'll be 100 percent for Week 1. Greer started all 16 games for the Saints in 2011, making 71 tackles and one interception.

Saints LCB Jabari Greer underwent a sports hernia surgery Thursday to repair an injured groin.

Interim coach Joe Vitt maintains Greer will "definitely" be ready for the regular season, suggesting the cornerback heals more quickly than other players. Vitt's timetable is on the optimistic side; Greer isn't expected to resume football activities until the week of the fourth preseason game. This is also his second sports hernia procedure since December of 2009. Even with Patrick Robinson sterling camp start, the Saints are thin at the position this year.

Profootballtalk.com reports that Saints LCB Jabari Greer's three-year extension is worth just $15.6 million.

Adding that sum to the $5.4 million remaining on Greer's old deal, and he essentially has a four-year, $21 million contract after signing for $22 million over four years in 2009. It looks like a very strong deal on the Saints' side, though no particulars are known beyond "new money" and maximum values. Regardless, initial reports of a three-year, $23 million extension were way off and agent inflated. The extension portion is worth under $16M.

Jabari Greer - DB - Saints

Saints agreed to terms with LCB Jabari Greer on a three-year extension worth north of $23 million.

Greer, 30, had one year and $5.4 million left on his old contract, so the extension takes him through the 2015 season. Though not much of a ballhawk -- he's never secured more than two interceptions in a season -- Greer has been a fairly steady cover man and plays the run better than you might expect for a 5-foot-11, 180-pound corner. Greer signed a four-year, $22 million deal with the Saints in 2009. He essentially now has a new four-year, $28.4 million contract.

Saints DC Gregg Williams revealed that LCB Jabari Greer's second-half shoulder injury was so painful that Greer "could barely lift his arm above his head."

The shoulder injury and a late-season knee injury help to explain why Greer's play fell off at times from mid-October through the end of the season. Turning 29 in two weeks, Greer should be back to full strength for the 2011 season.

Saints LCB Jabari Greer (knee) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Greer injured his knee in last week's game against the Ravens, and there was initial concern that it could be serious. "I think the additional day helped," coach Sean Payton said. Greer will be fine for Monday's matchup with Roddy White.

Tests came back negative for significant damage on Saints LCB Jabari Greer's injured left knee Monday.

"We'll just see where he's at (throughout the week)," is as far as coach Sean Payton would elaborate. The 10-4 Saints are all but assured of a Wild Card spot, but still have plenty to play for entering next Monday night's matchup with the Falcons. They'll need Greer to play if he's capable.

Saints LCB Jabari Greer left Sunday's game with a left knee injury and didn't return.

Coach Sean Payton offered no updates after the game. Greer is one of the more underrated cover corners in football, so his loss would be significant.

Coach Sean Payton expects to have starting cornerbacks Jabari Greer (shoulder) and Tracy Porter (knee) back for this week's game at Carolina.

Barring unforeseen setbacks, Payton cautions. Safety/corner Malcolm Jenkins and journeyman Leigh Torrance, a favorite of coordinator Gregg Williams, have far surpassed expectations with Greer and Porter out of the lineup.

Jabari Greer - DB - Saints

Saints LCB Jabari Greer (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Week 8.

Greer was deactivated after being listed as questionable for Week 7. This is a downgrade, indicating a possible setback. It gives a big boost to Hines Ward's matchup. Saints RCB Tracy Porter (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday Night Football. New Orleans would have no prayer of stopping a red-hot Ben Roethlisberger with their two top corners out.
