Okafor expressed his gratitude for the classy move by the Saints Wednesday. “The Saints have given me opportunities since I got here, and I’m just blessed and grateful that they still believe in me and are taking care of me the way they are,” Okafor said, via Luke Johnson of The Times-Picayune. Okafor missed practice Wednesday after hyperextending his knee in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers but he says he will be ready to go for next week’s playoff game. “Everything’s fine,” Okafor said. “It’s not too serious, I plan on practicing next week. That’s the goal right now.”
