The New Orleans Saints received some good news Wednesday evening.
According to a league source, an MRI determined Saints defensive end Alex Okafor suffered a bone bruise in his knee and a sprained ankle during Wednesday's (Aug. 15) practice at the Saints' indoor facility.
At the time, it looked like it could have been worse. When Okafor went down early in Wednesday's practice, the entire team gathered around him in silence before the team's athletic trainers escorted Okafor off the field.
Alex Okafor's injury is actually a bone bruise in his knee as well as a sprained ankle, per source.
