Lingering Saints questions: Alvin Kamara, Cam Jordan, captains - ESPN

METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints have two practices left before returning for training camp, which begins on July 29.

The voluntary portion of the Saints' offseason program gave a glimpse of what the team might look like in 2026, but their two days of mandatory minicamp Tuesday and Wednesday might provide a more in-depth glimpse at specific position groups such as running back and wide receivers.

Here are questions the Saints still need to answer:

Saints quarterback Tyler Shough spent a lot of time throwing to tight ends when the Saints ran 11-on-11 drills for the first time last week.

Whether that was intentional or a product of the state of the current wide receiver room remains to be seen.

There's optimism surrounding the receivers after the Saints selected Jordyn Tyson (No. 8), Bryce Lance (No. 136) and Barion Brown (No. 190). The amount of depth in the room means the Saints will have tough choices when deciding the final two or three receivers who will make the 53-man roster.

But there are potential concerns at the top of that depth chart. Tyson, who is expected to be a Day 1 starter next to Chris Olave, has been limited since the second day of rookie minicamp when he did not practice.

Saints coach Kellen Moore has said this is all part of a maintenance plan after Tyson spent the spring rehabbing injuries from college.

«I had a long combine process so it is a little good to get off my feet for a little bit, but I trust in the coaches,» Tyson said at the beginning of OTAs.

Olave, who missed the 2025 season finale after developing a blood clot, has also been limited in OTAs and was not at the final OTA session open to the media. Moore said Olave has been held out of some specific drills as an extra precaution
