The Saints have lost 25-year old RB Lynell Hamilton for the season as he tore his ACL in today’s practice.  Hamilton played in 9 games (1 start) for the Saints last season and he carried the ball 35 times for 125 yards (3.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also caught 5 passes for 48 yards (9.6 avg) last year.  Hamilton was the Saints’ #3 RB coming into this season so he will be missed.  P.J. Hill and undrafted rookie Chris Ivory out of Tiffin will battle for Hamilton’s spot on the depth chart.  The Saints had better pray that Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush stay healthy the whole 2010 season.
