Read on the TP sports blog that Bushrod has stepped in for Brown at LT. Brown attended a funeral in OK and was not at practice this afternoon. That's somewhat interesting even though it's only TC.
Thursday afternoon New Orleans Saints practice report - New Orleans Saints Beat - Times-Picayune - NOLA.com
- Second-year offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod, another guy I highlighted this morning, received a little payback from defensive end Will Smith in afternoon team drills. Smith beat him around the corner and forced quarterback Drew Brees to throw the ball away.
But Bushrod continued to have a decent performance as he stepped in to replace Brown with the first-team offense. These next two practices will be a big chance for Bushrod to prove himself and get to play along with the first-stringers. - Mike Triplett
