New Orleans Saints practice report
By Mike Triplett, The Times-Picayune

The Saints got back to work Saturday after a four-day layoff and got back to the basics in practice.

Coach Sean Payton compared it to a training camp practice, with the offense and defense working against each other and a heavy emphasis on fundamentals. Players said it was a high-energy practice, and the time off helped rest and rejuvenate them. The Saints will have a similar session Sunday before taking Monday off.

Tailback Pierre Thomas, who is trying to recover from three broken ribs, was out on the field, but he was wearing a yellow non-contact jersey while the media was present for the stretching period.

Receiver Lance Moore (ankle) and cornerback Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring) did not practice Saturday but both said they're expecting to be back on the field Tuesday when the team begins its regular practice schedule.

Getting LM back will help, and getting MJ back on ST will too. Looks like we will be healthy as we can. We need the Shock man back!!!

I am not sure how legitimate LM's injury is now .... he ought to be back to full strength by now for an ankle injury. Methinks SP is pulling a Bellicheat here with the injury reports!

can PT wear that jersey on Saturday?

Yeah, SP learned from the Tuna and doesn't give anything away unless he has too.
