Is it safe to say he’s back? Maybe. Wil Lutz has been sensational at New Orleans Saints training camp, connecting on 49 of his 51 kicks since July. He closed out Wednesday’s practice session with two successful field goals in two-minute team drills, nailing both of his tries from 51 and 38 yards.
This follows last week’s preseason game, in which Lutz set a new career-long field goal of 59 yards — he’s missed from that distance before, but his previous personal-best in preseason, regular season, and playoff games was 58 yards. After missing 11 months with a core muscle injury, reparative surgery, and the subsequent rehab, he’s again looking like a Pro Bowler.
