What We Want To See From Saints OTAs This Week
Credit: Saints OTAs / John Hendrix
The Saints are back in action this week, and here's a few things we want to pay attention to when we see OTAs again.
By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI
The Saints will be getting back to action for another round of OTAs on Tuesday, as we're one more week closer to football returning. New Orleans will have one more round next week followed by a mandatory minicamp from June 11-13. The first session brought us plenty of notes and observations, and we only anticipate getting more insight on the team when we see them next. Here's some of the things we are looking for in Week 2.
ATTENDANCE CHANGES
While we weren't expecting full attendance in the first place, twelve Saints were not spotted on the practice field last week. In addition to the absences, three were not participating (Nathan Peterman, Mark Evans and Tommy Hudson) and Oli Udoh was working off to the side. The biggest names we're waiting to see show up, which again this is strictly voluntary, would be Alvin Kamara and Marshon Lattimore. Some players may also be missing that were there from the first session we observed.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENT
The flow of practice showed organization and time on task. There's plenty of players who can look good in practice, and there's not much to gauge when it comes to the linemen due to the lack of pads and contact. However, the general things can be seen like physique at that spot. Most notably, a lot of the offensive linemen looked slimmer and trimmer, and that could be by design with the new Klint Kubiak offense. ...

Saints DE Tanoh Kpassagnon suffers torn Achilles
Week 2 of OTAs is here, but for the New Orleans Saints, the week starts with bad news. After practice today, Dennis Allen revealed to the media that edge rusher Tanoh Kpassagnon tore his Achilles earlier in the offseason.
Although this is not the news that the team or fans would want to hear, Dennis Allen said that Kpassagnon is expected to return sometime during the season. Kpassagnon has been able to cement himself into a rotational role on the defensive line. His versatility to play throughout the line will be missed. With this news, the Saints should be looking for defensive line...

Saints DE Tanoh Kpassagnon tears Achilles, Dennis Allen comments on return
METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints have lost defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon for the foreseeable future due to a torn Achilles suffered during the offseason, head coach Dennis Allen told media following Organized Team Activities (OTA) on Tuesday.

“Tanoh tore his Achilles in the offseason,” head coach Dennis Allen said Tuesady. “So he’s going to be out for a little while.”

NFLPA looking to overhaul offseason programs, per report
As we head into the thick of Organized Team Activities, or OTAs, the NFL Players Association is looking at changing the offseason program for all 32 teams, including the New Orleans Saints.

If it’s felt like everything has been hard for Alvin Kamara on rushing downs in recent years, you’d be right. It’s not enough for the porous New Orleans Saints offensive line to struggle in front of him. Kamara’s play callers have let him down, too, with predictable play designs keying in defenders to their intentions.
Thanks to charting shared by Steve Palazzolo, head of football product at Pro Football Focus, we can see that just one running back has ran against more boxes with 8 or more defenders lined up than Kamara since 2021: Derrick Henry, who twice led the league in rushing yards...

Saints reopen Ohio State pipeline in way-too-early 2025 mock draft
It’s too early to seriously predict which players might be picked in the 2025 NFL draft, but the event draws interest year-round and speculation won’t slow down just because we’re in a quiet stretch on the calendar.
The latest way-too-soon 2025 mock draft comes from Curt Popejoy over at Draft Wire. While the New Orleans Saints have a solid position at No. 9 (which would be the payoff for struggling through a hard-to-watch season with fewer wins than losses), in this projection New Orleans passed on every quarterback in the draft. The first passer, Georgia’s Carson Beck, wasn’t drafted...
