The New Orleans Saints’ defense, for the first time this offseason, had all its major players available to practice and on the field Wednesday, on its sixth day of training camp practice at The Greenbrier.
Cornerback Keenan Lewis, who started all 32 regular-season games and both playoff games in 2013-14, was back on the field practicing for the first time since exiting the lineup with a hip injury with six regular-season games left in 2015. Defensive tackle Nick Fairley and safety Erik Harris also returned to practice from injuries.
But Lewis’ return was most noteworthy, considering the amount of time he has missed.
