Saints. Ravens. Preseason. Saturday night. Let's do this.

Here we go.

Yes, it’s just a preseason game. And yes, it’s just the first preseason game. And yes, it’s wise to hold off on sweeping conclusions.

Nonetheless, the Saints’ preseason opener is here — and after a whole summer without exhibitions in 2020, isn’t this a small-but-nice slice of normalcy?

The Saints, bringing a roster loaded with question marks, visit Baltimore for a game Saturday night against the Ravens. If you’re a true gambling enthusiast, you’ll know the Ravens haven’t lost a preseason game since 2015. If you’ve got some common sense, you know the score doesn’t mean anything (outside of the sportsbook, that is).

Anyway, here’s our Amie Just with a quick look at all the basic info: Kickoff time, TV options and other tidbits. Amie also goes into deeper detail about what the Saints expect out of this thing. In all seriousness, this is the chance for fringe players to stand out. Sean Payton said not all 90 players on the roster will play Saturday, but most will.

It could be a nice opportunity, too, for Marquez Callaway, who suddenly finds himself in an audition for the No. 1 receiver’s role. Luke Johnson has more on that. (Raise your hand if you saw that coming a year ago.)

Elsewhere: Our Rod Walker has a watch list, so to speak: Five things for Saints fans to keep an eye on.

While you watch, follow along with us at NOLA.com. We’ll be live-tweeting, and of course we’ll have rapid reactions from Rod, Luke, Amie and Jeff Duncan.

The gang’s all here. Join in on the fun, eh?
