As the first phase of New Orleans Saints training camp wraps up, the focus turns to game prep before the first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens!
It's time to update the Saints' 53-man roster projections based upon what we've seen at camp so far. Even though the starting quarterback spot is still open between Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill, the third QB role seems to be sewn up. Devonte Freeman adds another layer to the offense as a back who can mimic some of Alvin Kamara's abilities in the pass-catching game, but with limited roster space, he'll have to impress to steal a spot. And the top two wide receiver positions without Michael Thomas and potentially Deonte Harris look to be settled, even with one wideout missing time in camp
The New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton have always believed that NFL games are won in the trenches. The starting five offensive lineman in the NFL may make up one of the best units in the league, but big questions marks surround the defensive interior after the offseason departure of Sheldon Rankins and the suspension of David Onyemata.
On the defensive side, Kwon Alexander makes his return to claim his spot beside Demario Davis in the second level, but young linebackers Pete Werner and Zack Baun have stood out in camp. Meanwhile, the cornerback position may not be complete yet with Marshon Lattimore facing a potential suspension.
