- Defense welcomes new players: Even though you can count the amount of training camp practices left on one hand, we mentioned Tuesday on Takeaways the New Orleans Saints continue to try out players and sign them to the roster of 85. We talked about the signing of wide receiver Kevin White on Wednesday and his participation in practice. The two defensive signees, defensive back Natrell Jamerson (a former Saints 2018 fifth-round draft pick) and cornerback Bryan Mills both participated fully in practice as well Wednesday, but on Thursday they were officially welcomed to the defense. As is the custom, immediately after stretching, any new additions to the roster on defense must do up-downs at midfield with the entire defensive unit (anyone wearing a black jersey) surrounding them. I probably couldn't do five of these things, but the number easily was north of 30, and by the end, both were glad to get it over with. The pace, understandably, had slowed considerably as the drill continued. Welcome to NOLA!
