WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Andrus Peat got all the work he could handle in the first scrimmage of his Saints career.

And then some.

Peat took snaps with all three units in Friday’s scrimmage, stepping in at left tackle with the starters in place of starter Terron Armstead, who was limited to no contact again.

“Well, we didn’t rep Terron, and he will be back on Sunday, so any time there is a tackle or one lineman out, we would add a rep or two so those younger guys can learn,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.

The workload took a toll on Peat, who struggled through the eight 100-yard runs that the team went through to finish the practice.

Veteran Zach Strief said Peat’s conditioning will eventually get up to speed.

“It’s a process. The first thing to recognize is he’d just finished a 13-play drive and then ran 800 yards, so it’s not ideal for a lineman,” Strief said. “The conditioning stuff is going to come.”
