Saints WR Willie Snead's three-game suspension was for a personal conduct violation that stemmed from an off-season DUI.

The suspension was reduced from four games to three on appeal.
With Brandin Cooks in New England, Snead was expected to play a bigger role for the Saints. Last year, he caught 72 passes for 895 yards and 4 TDs. With Snead out, Ted Ginn and Brandon Coleman will be counted on to help pick up the slack. Michael Thomas is still the No. 1 option.
