One of the big stories of training camp for the New Orleans Saints so far has been the injuries. Star wide receiver Chris Olave, one of the NFL’s top cornerback’s Marshon Lattimore, RB2 Kendre Miller and more. Should we be super concerned or is this just an early preseason bump in the road?

That being said, there are bright spots in wide receiver Mason Tipton, running back Jordan Mims, and defensive end Chase Young looks ready to go. Which current reserve offensive lineman could find their way into the starting lineup? Lucas Patrick for the injured Nick Saldiveri? Landon Young for Trevor Penning? Move Taliese Fuaga back to right tackle?

Host Jim Derry went brings in Ross Jackson of the “Locked on Saints Podcast” on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 260) presented by Evangeline Securities to discuss all these topics, and Jim has plenty to say before Ross joins. Also, producer Gabe Henderson has presents some “top” and “bottom” lists, while Jim’s ‘Extra Point’ goes back 24 years to the day the Saints traded for quarterback Aaron Brooks.
