In the grand scheme, it matters little if the New Orleans Saints’ celebrated Triplets take a meaningful game snap during the preseason.
As long as quarterback Drew Brees, running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Michael Thomas get their work done in training camp and emerge healthy and motivated heading into Week 1 against the Houston Texans, it’s all good in my book.
