Several fan-favorite standouts from the preseason games either missed practice altogether or had to leave early with injuries of their own — including multiple groin injuries. These soft-tissue injuries have been a point of emphasis for the medical training staff in recent years, so it’s odd that the Saints are dealing with so many of them at once so late in the offseason.
