New Orleans Saints players excited to be back at practice facility

About 10 to 15 New Orleans Saints players have stopped by the team's practice facility today for some voluntary workouts and some long-overdue quality time with the coaching staff.


The players will officially report to training camp Thursday. The first practice is expected to take place Friday, though that still has not been announced.
Among the players seen driving in and out of the Saints' facility on Tuesday were safety Malcolm Jenkins, cornerbacks Tracy Porter and Johnny Patrick, kicker Garrett Hartley, quarterback Chase Daniel, tailbacks Chris Ivory and Lynell Hamilton, tight end Tyler Lorenzen and long snapper Justin Drescher.



"It was awesome," Daniel said of being back in the building for the first time in nearly five months. "For us last night, we were just (champing) at the bit to get in this morning. It was like Christmas Eve last night. Just waiting to be back around people that you know, that you trust, that you love here.
"I came in, did a workout, threw some passes to Tyler, got in the cold tub, hot tub, just used the amenities. Got our free lunch, which was awesome. But it was good to see all the coaches. That's the main thing. And to see everyone, all the support staff here, they all missed us like crazy. You know, we're like their kids. That's what Silky (Powell) said, one of the equipment managers. It's good to be back."
