Running back Mark Ingram can't return to the New Orleans Saints until Oct. 1 while serving a four-game NFL suspension.

In his quest to be ready to hit the ground running when he returns, Ingram worked out on Tuesday at Florida Atlantic, where Lane Kiffin, a former Alabama offensive coordinator, is now the head coach.
