Off-season injuries to two of his star players may had added some unwanted stress to his job, but Sean Payton said they are not a concern. QB Drew Brees dislocated his left elbow in the Pro Bowl. Meanwhile, RB Reggie Bush sprained his ankle while playing in a celebrity basketball game a couple of weeks after Brees was hurt. Both players are expected to be at full strength well before the start of training camp.
