The New Orleans Saints offensive line is starting to look like what the coaching staff has drawn up on paper. Left guard Andrus Peat returned to practice after missing time with a thumb injury in recent weeks, suiting up for Monday’s training camp session.
Peat signed a hefty contract extension earlier this summer, and reportedly showed up for work in excellent shape. But injuries have slowed him down throughout his career, and this thumb issue meant he had to take a backseat while recovering. The Saints promoted backup guard Nick Easton in his place, but now they’ve put their two-time Pro Bowler back in the lineup.
