The New Orleans Saints will roll into the Superdome Friday evening for their first home game since December 29.
However, it’s just a preseason game, which is little more than a glorified practice session. There is not much on the line, other than some jockeying at the edges of the roster.
Drew Brees will almost certainly remain out, nursing a strained oblique — which are the muscles on the side of the body — so look for more backup QB competition between Luke McCown and Ryan Griffin.
The Saints will face off against a Tennessee Titans squad, who pulled off a win in their first preseason game over the Green Bay Packers. It was a sloppy affair in nearly three inches of rain.
Friday night's game kicks off at 7 p.m. Find real-time updates of this and every game on Twitter: @jasonmsaul and @WWNO.
