New Orleans Saints training camp returned to brave the elements in Wednesday’s outdoor session after starting the week indoors. It was slightly jarring to be met with a field of officials; they provided a critical checkpoint for the secondary. The climate was humid with a side of humidity, and practice swiftly moved indoors following a lightning strike, while I swiftly ran to the parking lot.
Despite missing the last few days of camp, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it) not much has changed from an observational standpoint. Some notable absences at today’s practice include Jalen McCleskey, Pete Werner, Marcus Williams and Payton Turner; on the plus side, Tre’Quan Smith was present in street clothes for the first time since he left with an early injury in training camp.
Ty Montgomery was carted off fairly early for reasons unclear – quite frankly could’ve been the heat, but it’s hard to fathom many more players leaving the field at this stage. With all that said, let’s break down one of the last remaining sessions before the preseason.
