So that’s disquieting. With Michael Thomas recovering from ankle surgery and Deonte Harris likely to open the regular season with a two-week suspension, the New Orleans Saints are expected to trot out some combination of Tre’Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, and another receiver or two for Week 1. But Smith still hasn’t returned to practice after exiting Tuesday’s session with what NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill described as an apparent leg injury, while Harris also missed Wednesday’s practice.
While Sean Payton has been typically tight-lipped on injury updates, he did acknowledge on Wednesday that neither Smith nor Harris were expected to be out for long.
