As The Times-Picayune's Mike Triplett reported earlier, "New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter checked out OK neurologically" but was sent to a hospital for more tests, at his postgame news conference, Coach Sean Payton sounded optimistic. "It's my understanding that the information back on Tracy has been good news," he said. "I'll update you more tomorrow, but certainly our prayers are with him. It's good to get in here after the game and find out that he is doing pretty well." Porter tackled Bucs receiver Mike Williams on the second play of the game and laid motionless on the field after first sitting up immediately after the play. He was taken off on a stretcher.
