The New Orleans Saints continue preparing for their Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions. On this edition of The Sports Coma with Big Q, we cover Thursday’s practice observations, the latest team news, and press conference reaction featuring Doug Nussmeier, Brandon Staley and Phil Galiano.
Watch the full show:
Thursday’s Saints Practice Notes
Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller participated in Thursday’s practice. Their participation is a development to follow as New Orleans prepares for Detroit, although participation alone does not establish their game-day availability.
Oscar Delp and Audric Estime were not seen at practice. Cam Jordan also remained absent and has already been ruled out for Week 1. Practice squad wide receivers Trey Palmer and Cedric Tillman were not spotted either.
Davon Godchaux was the only reported attendance change from Wednesday. He received Thursdays off last season, so another scheduled rest day is a possibility. That explanation remains unconfirmed.
Saints Coordinators Address the Media
Big Q reacts to the coordinator media sessions and discusses the questions facing all three phases of the team:
• Offense: Doug Nussmeier’s comments and what the Saints need from their offensive execution.
• Defense: Brandon Staley’s comments and the defensive challenges entering Week 1.
• Special teams: Phil Galiano’s comments and the importance of field position and clean execution.
