By Ross Jackson

METAIRIE, La. — With roster shuffling ongoing for the New Orleans Saints, the team’s return to practice included being down more than a handful of players. Some are previously known injuries while others may be shifting around between the roster and practice squad. 

With no game this weekend, this week’s pair of practices represents a chance for each side of the ball to tweak and tailor game plans to the new-look roster, which will continue to change. 

Here are the players that were not seen during the portion of practice open to the media:

• CB Alontae Taylor (groin)
• WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. 
• S Julian Blackmon 
• S Jordan Howden
• LG Trevor Penning (toe)
• TE Jack Stoll
• DT Khristian Boyd (hand)

Head coach Kellen Moore will meet with the local media and provide updates on both injuries and roster moves as necessary.
