Horn sidelined for New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS -- Saints veteran wide receiver Joe Horn was
inactive for Saturday night's NFC playoff game between New Orleans
and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Horn has been battling a groin injury that forced him out of the
final four games of the regular season. The four-time Pro Bowl
wideout was listed as questionable during the week.

In the Saints' 27-24 win over Philadelphia on Oct. 15, Horn had
six catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns. During the season, he
had 37 receptions for 679 yards and four TDs.

The most notable inactive player for Philadelphia was cornerback
Lito Sheppard, who dislocated his right elbow in last week's win
over the Giants and was declared out earlier in the week.
