Saints head coach Sean Payton confirmed Tuesday that Swann visited Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia for an examination earlier this week. Meyers is a specialist in core muscle injuries, however, there is no confirmation on what the exact injury is.
Sources told Adam Caplan of ESPN that Swann will not need surgery.
