The New Orleans Saints are planning to move a portion of their training camp practices to Oxnard, Calif., between their second and third preseason games, according to league sources.

The team has not confirmed any plans, but various sources have confirmed that they have been making plans to take the team to Southern California to break up their camp routine. Details have not been finalized, but hey will likely travel following their preseason game at Houston on Aug. 20, then spend several days practicing in Oxnard before their Aug. 28 game at Oakland.

The Dallas Cowboys have been training in Oxnard off and on for years, including when Saints Coach Sean Payton was there as an assistant coach in 2004 and 2005. The River Ridge practice fields in Oxnard, which is about one hour north of Los Angeles, are adjacent to a Residence Inn.

The Saints took their training camp on location to Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., during Payton's first three years as head coach from 2006-2008. But they moved back home to the team's Metairie practice facility in 2009.
