New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton spoke with local media during a teleconference Wednesday morning, and took some time to address wide receiver Cameron Meredith’s absence in the regular season opener:
“I think, more than anything else, it had to do with just the reps he was behind coming off training camp. We’ll see how he’s doing this week. I think from a health standpoint, he’s doing good. It’s just getting him up to speed from a timing element and getting him the reps he needs to be ready to function and go in and play consistently.
