Happy Saturday! Say, are you planning to go to the Saints’ first preseason home game Monday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Caesars Superdome? You might want to think ahead. You’ll need proof of COVID-19 vaccination, or a negative PCR test. If you want to know more, our Amie Just explains it all here. If you go (or even if you don’t), you can expect to see Jameis Winston taking the first snaps at quarterback. Don’t read much into it, though. Although coach Sean Payton confirmed it Friday, this was always the plan. Also: Did you notice Zack Baun last week? The second-year linebacker was making plays, and as Luke Johnson reports, it appears the light bulb may have come on. Our Jeff Duncan has a great rundown of 10 things he’s noted through three weeks of training camp. Among them: We don’t know much more about Jameis and Taysom; punter Blake Gillikin appears to be a weapon; and the defensive front seven is showing lots of promise. Elsewhere: The Saints are signing safety Jeff Heath and kicker Aldrick Rosas. Buckle up for much more. Rod Walker, Jeff, Luke and Amie have you covered.
