Horn eager to suit up again for Saints
Associated Press
METAIRIE — Joe Horn said Monday that he could have played in Pittsburgh if coach Sean Payton had let him, but he did not necessarily disagree with Payton's decision to sit him out.
"I was ready to play, man," said Horn, who has missed the past two games since pulling a groin. "I've played 60 percent before and was effective. I've played 45 percent and was effective before. But it wasn't in the best interest of the guy who was 100 percent. It was a good decision that the coach made to have me not play."
Horn said he still is not 100 percent healthy, but he declined to estimate how healthy he is.
"I'm optimistic," Horn said. "It's killing me (to be on the sidelines). It didn't hurt me too much the Tampa game because we won the football game, but when we lose games like the one we lost last night, it hurt pretty bad just to know you have to sit on the sideline."
