The health is trending in the right direction for the Saints, as they got a big player back in team drills on Wednesday.
-- The Saints really got to be back at home on Wednesday, as Day 20 of training camp was held at their practice facility. New Orleans started outside and then worked their way indoors to beat the heat for team drills. It was a pretty good session on Wednesday, and Dennis Allen said he thought the team responded well to practice with a short turnaround from California and the Tulane session last night. Here's what attendance looked like and some nuggets from the day.
Pete Werner and Payton Turner both left practice early, but did return. Lucas Patrick and Johnathan Abram left early as well, as they both had cramps. Dennis Allen jokingly said that the team isn't in California anymore.Rookie Kyle Hergel got some looks at left guard with the first team with Lucas Patrick leaving. Allen says Kyle Hergel has come in and has done some good things, saying he’s put himself in contention for a practice squad or roster spot.
It's seriously getting to be desperation mode for Kendre Miller. We haven't seen him since Day 1 of training camp after he left during drills. Dennis Allen said that since the Saints drafted him, there hasn’t been a lot of new information other than the college tape. “It’s hard to make that evaluation,” Allen said on his roster outlook. Allen said hopefully they get him out here, but it makes it more challenging.
