New Orleans Saints receiver Cameron Meredith has yet to make his regular-season debut in a black-and-gold uniform.

But according to Saints coach Sean Payton, Meredith's first regular-season snaps could be coming soon. Payton said Meredith is doing well in practice and is progressing.

"He's healthy and, you know, this will be a week, we'll look to see how he progresses and see if we can get him into this plan," Payton said Thursday (Sept. 20).

Seems like good news. We can't expect Michael Thomas to catch 974 passes every game.

Hopefully he'll get in there and take over some of those slot duties that Thomas has been working ... in addition to his normal position. I mean, 28 catches over the first two games is awesome, but Thomas will get beat up if they try to continue that pace. Ginn isn't catching a third of his targets on the season and TreQuan hasn't been that involved either.

With Meredith and Ingram back the Saints will be extremely hard to stop.

Peyton said he wants to get Tre'Quan more work which is what I projected and was correct. 1/4 in the season and no CM which I was also correct.

Your math is poor.

We are 1/8 into the season.

Thanks, I was about to point that out.

He may be wanting to get Smith more work, but at this point Tre'Quan has exactly two more targets and one more catch on the season than Meredith.

It's not a may. He said he will be finding ways to do exactly that. Regardless, Cam is way down on the roster and it's not about the injury at this point. Worthless. Can't even play special teams. He won't play this week or next week unless it's in garbage time which is what he did in Chicago. Master of garbage time.

Geez why so much vitriol for Meredith?

Re: Saints WR Cameron Meredith's regular-season debut could be coming soon, Sean Payton says
 

We need people other than Thomas and Kamara to get involved or those guys will get injured and we'll be in trouble.

Literally everyone else has been invisible and it's a long list of people that need to step their game up;

Josh Hill
Austin Carr
Ben Watson
Ted Ginn Jr
Tre'Quan Smith
Mike Gillislee

All of these guys have been invisible come game time, we will become too predictable before long and get completely shut down when Defenses know the 2 players that will get the ball.
