The New Orleans Saints’ four opponents during the 2019 preseason were first reported by Larry Holder of the Athletic, then confirmed by Rod Walker of the Advocate and Josh Katzenstein of the Times-Picayune.
New Orleans will host the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins, and travel from coast to coast to face the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets. This is the third consecutive year in which the Saints will line up against the Chargers in preseason exhibition.
The Chargers have shared a few days of joint practices with the Saints ahead of their preseason game, and Jeff Duncan of the Times-Picayune suggests that trend will continue in 2019. Duncan reports that these practices should be scheduled between August 12-18.
Here’s the schedule for the Saints preseason, per Herbie Teope of NFL.com. The date and time has been reported for just one game, when the Saints and Chargers meet on Sunday, August 18, at 3 p.m. Central. That game will be broadcast nationally on CBS. The total list:
- Week 1: Saints versus Vikings
- Week 1: Saints at Chargers.
- Week 3: Saints at Jets
- Week 4: Saints versus Dolphins
