The New Orleans Saints return to pads on Day 11 in California.
IRVINE, Calif. — The Saints injury bug has not just caught the attention of the Who Dat Nation, but it is something that New Orleans head coach Dennis Allen also voiced concern about during the team’s California training camp at UC-Irvine.
“It’s more than what I’d like, certainly,” said Allen following practice on Day 11 on Monday. “I also think that at some point you got to build some calluses for the regular season, and some of this is the price of doing business.”
Aside from a long list of those missing practice time to recover from injuries already sustained during the first 10 days, the following are the most notable names missing from the field.
- Pete Werner, Linebacker (shoulder)
- Paulson Adebo, Cornerback (groin)
- Nick Saldiveri, Offensive Lineman (calf)
- Marshon Lattimore, Cornerback (hamstring)
- Demario Davis, Linebacker (hamstring)
- Kendre Miller, Running Back (hamstring)
