Three members of the Saints will be making their first appearance in Minnesota since they were Vikings when New Orleans kicks off in U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.
Fullback Zach Line, linebacker Michael Mauti and linebacker Gerald Hodges all began their careers with the Vikings.
Line, who is the Saints' starter at fullback, has the most recent history in Minnesota. He spent the past four years starting at fullback for the Vikings, until a hip injury in February forced him to have surgery.
"They know I did my job there, and unfortunately, I had to have a surgery where they didn't think I'd be ready for training camp," Line said.
