| Greetings and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Saints Insider newsletter for Dec. 22, 2022. Demario Davis has been one of the top linebackers in the NFL for several years, but a Pro Bowl invitation curiously eluded him during his first decade in the league. This year, he finally earned the long overdue honor. Luke Johnson has the story. Here's what else we have for you today: The Saints linebacker room is a teacher's dream. Beat reporter Terrin Waack tells us why Pete Werner, Kaden Elliss and others are thriving under assistant coach Michael Hodges' tutelage. The Saints could be short-handed at receiver for Saturday's game against the Browns. The injury report on Wednesday listed two key wideouts. Center Cesar Ruiz suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury late in the Saints' win against the Atlanta Falcons. The offensive line once again will be without a key starter. And finally, Jim Derry and I preview the Saints-Browns game and analyze how the Arctic weather might impact play for both teams on this week's Dat-titude podcast. That's it for today. We'll have plenty of more this week as the Saints ramp up preparations for their game against the Browns in Cleveland on Saturday. Be sure to check out the NOLA.com Saints page for all the coverage. Until next time, Jeff Duncan |
