Smith could very well return to practice tomorrow and not miss a beat until the Sept. 12 season opener against Green Bay. But that just feels too optimistic given how much time he’s spent out of action so far."

This would explain the caution. Rest is what's best for a hamstring. Smith and Winston worked out together all Summer long so they shouldn't have an issue with timing.

4th year in a row... Time to cut bait.

Yep.

3quan's availabilty is a guessing game every year. It wouldn't surprise me to see him land on IR to start the season.

WR-Z (2) 10 - Tre'Quan Smith, 11 - Deonte Harris (2 Gm Suspension), 14 - Kawaan Baker (R7, P255)

Concerns here ^^ .

Time for Kawan to step up?

It’ll probably be Calloway and LJ. I hear Andy Isabella might hit the market though.

Not even sure he makes the squad.

I'm still hoping somehow Kevin White sticks.

His time, attitude at gunner on kick coverage hasn't hurt his chances of making the roster...

Kevin White had a case of the "dropsies" on those slants however he has looked good on special teams as well.

I think Kawaan vs Baker is a toss up ... Arizona game will be huge for both.

Chris Hogan hasn't been played likely because the Saints want to keep Tre'Quan past Day1 Regular Season, Reserve/Injured Smith, then bring back Hogan...

Several local reporters are starting to intimate this within comments of their 53-man projections...
