After having X-rays on his injured left knee Wednesday, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton hopes to be back on the sideline when his team returns from its bye week for a Nov. 28 game with the New York Giants according to Sheldon Mickles of the Baton Rouge Advocate. When Payton had surgery to repair a torn meniscus and fractured tibia on Oct. 17, his doctor said it would be about eight weeks before he could put partial weight on the leg. But Payton told Tampa Bay reporters on a conference call Wednesday that he hoped to be back on the sideline for the Monday Night Football game with the Giants in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
