HOUSTON — If the New Orleans Saints want to show they can overcome the absence of veteran cornerback Keenan Lewis, Saturday's preseason game against the Houston Texans is a perfect opportunity.
Yes, it's just an exhibition, but the Texans have invested considerable resources into their wide receiver corps in recent years, which should provide a good test for the Saints cornerbacks a day after the team cut Lewis.
The Saints cut the New Orleans native who had been one of their top cornerbacks in recent seasons.
Houston drafted DeAndre Hopkins in the first round in 2013, and he's already one of the top receivers in the NFL.
