Depending on the weather, the teams will work on the upper two fields at The Greenbrier. Like last season, the video didn’t lie.
The teams also practiced together in 2012.
“I know this, I know how he is going to handle it with his players and we felt coming off the times we’ve worked together it has been real positive”.
“It is what it is”, he said of the base offense. More details about training camp at The Greenbrier are available here.
Then, Browner hurt his leg in the first quarter of Thursday night’s loss, an injury that may not be serious, and Spiller had arthroscopic knee surgery the next day, according to media reports. “Like I said, we do go against each other every single day, so it will be fun to go out and smack pads a little bit with the Saints, for sure”, added defensive end Chandler Jones. And Ryan Wright did return after practice to get some more conditioning work in on the field right behind me.
The Saints are scheduled to practice independently at The Greenbrier again on Tuesday before holding joint practices with the New England Patriots on Wednesday and Thursday.
Expected to be a key in the backfield-by-committee approach that Payton uses, Spiller reportedly underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Friday and will be sidelined until the season opener on September 13 at Arizona.
Spiller was listed as the backup to Mark Ingram on the first depth chart released by the team last Monday, ahead of Khiry Robinson and Tim Hightower.

Jones opted to wear trousers rather than shorts during Saturday’s practice in attempt to get himself accustomed to the heat. It’s like I told (Highland) when he got here in minicamp: ‘I’m going to give you what I’ve got; I’m going to pay it forward. Outside linebacker Ronald Powell did not play in the game or practice, tackle Nick Becton, guard Sean Hickey and cornerback P J. Williams didn’t play against the Ravens and remained out of practice Saturday for undisclosed reasons….
