McAllister likely Out For Season

The AP is reporting that Deuce McAllister likely will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee Sunday at Green Bay.

Saints coach Jim Haslett said Monday that the running back got a second opinion Monday in San Antonio. He'll get a third opinion from Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., later this week.

"If that's the case, a torn ligament, he's out for the year," Haslett said. "I feel bad first of all for Deuce. He's worked hard to get to this point. He's a great football player."

McAllister became the leading career rusher for the Saints earlier this season. He's had three straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons plus three straight seasons with 30 or more receptions coming out of the backfield.

He has rushed for 335 yards and a 3.6 average this season with three touchdowns.
