Saints offensive line returning to health for trip to New York

By Ross Jackson

METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints wrapped up practice for the week with a strong showing on the injury front. Health on the offensive line in particular has improved quite a bit, and just in time as the Saints are traveling for a cold weather game where the rushing attack will be pivotal. 

Here is the attendance from the open portion of the Saints’ final Week 14 practice:

Not seen:

TE Taysom Hill (Knee)

WR Bub Means (Ankle)

S Roderic Teamer (SUSP)

OL Nick Saldiveri (Knee

The exact same list as Thursday, which is a great sign for New Orleans. Returning players like center Erik McCoy, left guard Lucas Patrick and running back Kendre Miller were all again present. Those are key returns after the loss of end Taysom Hill and his contributions to the run game. 

Means and defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon may not make it back to the field this weekend, but their progress to return in the coming weeks continues to move steadily.
