The New Orleans Saints have decided not to play safety Darren Sharper and tight end David Thomas in their regular-season finale at Carolina. Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said on Saturday that neither player traveled with the team to Charlotte for Sunday's game. Sharper has a minor soreness in his left knee and had been listed as questionable for Sunday's game as of Friday, but was downgraded along with Thomas, who had been listed as doubtful with a calf injury.
