NEW ORLEANS, La. (WVUE) - Let’s start with a disclaimer. Realistically, it could be a few weeks until we see any actual football on the field like we’re used to. After reporting, testing, conditioning it could be well into August before true practices even start.
Plus, there’s a chance the roster is trimmed by ten players before reporting.
