After what feels like an eternity, the New Orleans Saints will play a football game again, when they take the field against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Thursday in the preseason opener for both teams. Although the game doesn't count in the standings, there will be plenty at stake for both squads, each of whom have Super Bowl aspirations for the 2018 season. Neither team is expected to play their starters very much, if at all, but both teams will use this as an opportunity to begin to answer some key roster questions. The Saints, who have one of the most balanced rosters in the NFL on each side of the ball, will have a number of important depth issues to answer during the entire preseason.
