Saints wide receivers Marques Colston and Robert Meachem were back at practice Sunday. Colston had been sidelined by swelling around his surgically repaired right kneecap for more than a week. Meachem left Friday night's preseason opener against San Francisco with a lower back strain. Colston said his knee needed rest after some heavy work in the early days of training camp. "It's just going to be a matter of managing it and getting it football-ready," Colston said. "Going from a lot of straight line running and lifting, it's totally different when you get on the field and start running routes. You get your body in situations you really can't train for. I'm transitioning back into that and it shouldn't be an issue moving forward." Colston said he expects to play in New Orleans' second preseason game Saturday night in Houston.
