Now that’s what you like to see: all 90 players under contract with the New Orleans Saints participated at the team’s first training camp practice on Wednesday, as head coach Dennis Allen said would be the case in his opening press conference on Tuesday.
And just one player was sidelined by an injury — undrafted rookie Anthony Johnson. Still on the PUP list, the cornerback out of Virginia was spotted working off to the side while he continues to recover from an undisclosed injury suffered during minicamp practices earlier this year.
But everyone else was able to participate in team drills, including wide receiver Michael Thomas and other players returning from season-ending injuries in 2022, such as right guard Cesar Ruiz and left tackle Trevor Penning (both of whom were limited while recovering from foot surgeries). Rookie sixth-round pick A.T. Perry was also practicing with his teammates which suggests he’ll be formally removed from the NFI list later Wednesday afternoon. Let’s hope this streak of good health continues as intensity ramps up during training camp.
