December 15-- Jansen likely to miss Saints game

T Jon Jansen has been downgraded to doubtful after missing his third straight practice, he will be re-evaluated tomorrow to see if he will even make the trip to New Orleans.. If he can’t play, Todd Wade will start in his place..
Wade hasn’t played in a game since week 9 at Indy when he was with the Texans a season ago.. He tore the MCL in his knee in two spots.. Wade said he wears a knee brace now only for piece of mind.. he says he rarely even has to ice the knee and he’s excited to get an opportunity to show this team and the rest of the league that he can still play and is healthy.. Wade started some 50 games at tackle in the league prior to the injury..
Jansen is not shutting himself down, Joe Gibbs said Jansen told him if he cannot play this weekend, he will be likely to be able to return for the St. Louis game..

C Casey Rabach returned to practice with a broken hand and was upgraded to probable for the game..
