We have four outside linebackers per NFL.com's player page for Will Herring...

Will Herring, OLB for the New Orleans Saints at NFL.com

Martez and Junior can rotate and Herring can back up Haralson...

See, no worries...

New Orleans Saints DE Glenn Foster (ankle) and SS Isa Abdul-Quddus (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 6, and have been ruled out for Week 1.

Shame about Foster
Hopefully its not a lingering issue

Looking at the depth chart there are a few odd/interesting things.

-Tanner listed ahead of Stills at WR2
-Harper ahead of Vaccaro. I can't imagine that will last very long
-Haralson backs up both OLB positions. Figured he would be in as a starter.

Realistically all of these positions will be heavily rotated, but it's interesting to see who gets the honor of being named "starter."
