Sean Payton said in March he hoped veteran special teams coach Mike Westhoff would return to the New Orleans Saints staff in 2018, but to this point, Westhoff has not yet rejoined the team.
The 70-year-old Westhoff underwent surgery after the season on what Payton described as an issue from his hip all the way down his leg. He's still recovering from the surgery, which is part of the reason he has yet to return to New Orleans.
But, after the Saints' third practice of organized team activities Thursday (May 24), Payton said Westhoff returning remains a possibility.
