Meachem to suit up against Washington

On a day the Saints began coping with the injury of top receiver Marques Colston, at least one teammate had something to celebrate. Receiver Robert Meachem found out that after 17 games of sitting on the bench, inactive and waiting for an opportunity, he finally will be active for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. "You see the smile on my face," Meachem said. "I've been waiting for this a long time. It's a dream come true."
