We’re halfway through New Orleans Saints training camp with the first 11 practices in the books — so it’s a good time to take stock of which players have been given rest days up to this point. It’s not uncommon for two or three veterans to be given a day off in the heat of the summer, but some guys with injury histories are also scheduled for a rest day here or there as the team manages their workload.
So which players have been given the most rest days through camp so far? At the halfway point, here are the areas the team is taking it cautiously:
