New Orleans will add its greatest quarterback to the Superdome's Ring of Honor on Sunday, two months after his first-ballot enshrinement in Canton. He also receives his Hall of Fame ring during the ceremony.
Chicago's quarterback is reported to be targeting next week's trip to Atlanta, Washington's top receiver is a genuine toss-up against the Giants, and Tennessee's rookie wideout looks set to play through a sore back.
New Orleans also called up receiver Cedric Tillman and tackle Easton Kilty from the practice squad for Sunday's home game against Minnesota.
