7 years agoNew Orleans Saints rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport (groin), who has missed most of training camp with a pulled groin, was back at practice on Wednesday, although he didn't participate. "It's good," head coach Sean Payton said. "The news we're hearing is real good, so he's going to be kind of ramping up and accelerating with regards to getting back on the field. That's encouraging." It's unknown if the first-round pick will be able to play in the second preseason game against the Cardinals on Friday since he hasn't taken a snap in practice in two weeks. Davenport is surely behind but has time to get up to speed before the regular season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
