Saints get a boost in their first practice in France despite GM Mickey Loomis dumping a cold bucket of water on another injury

The New Orleans Saints received defensive reinforcements during their first practice in Paris, France, ahead of their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Linebacker Kaden Elliss and edge rusher Anfernee Jennings both returned to practice after missing three weeks with calf and knee injuries, respectively. However, general manager Mickey Loomis confirmed that rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson will not play or practice this week despite traveling with the team.

Tyson has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since August, and while Loomis noted he is improving, no specific timetable has been established for his debut. The returns of Elliss and Jennings provide a timely boost for a Saints defense that has struggled statistically during their recent three-week absence.
