New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram will soon experience for the first time in his football life what it's like to be away from his team.
"I don't know what that's going to be like or how it's going to feel," he said. "I'm sure it's not going to feel good."
Ingram will serve a four-game suspension to start the season for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. From watching training camp and the first two preseason games, it seems the Saints are preparing Ingram just as they would if he were available for the start of the season.
