Marshon Lattimore not seen practicing Wednesday
Lattimore was not seen at New Orleans' practice on Wednesday, which means that he is likely going to end up being a non-participant. This is just the Saints' first practice of the week, however, so there won't be serious concern surrounding his status if he's able to return to practice on Thursday.
