METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints may be back to a full starting complement on the offensive line this week with starting right guard Cesar Ruiz back at practice. Meanwhile, bit name has made his way back to the lineup.
Not seen at the portion of today’s Saints practice that was open to the media:
CB Isaac Yiadom
Defensive end Chase Young made a late appearance

However the absence of Yiadom was expected explicitly because of those transactions, which included the addition of veteran cornerback Michael Davis.
Davis was present along with newly added practice wide receiver Ronnie Bell and returning tight end Moliki Matavao.
With Ruiz back at practice, the Saints could have their full starting offensive line back for a game for the second time. The line premiered against the Buffalo Bills, but Ruiz went out with an ankle sprain for the second half. Ruiz missed last week but looks like he could beat his four to six week return timeline.
Safety Justin Reid was present as he continues going through concussion protocol.
