The New Orleans Saints had 11 players sitting out from Sunday's practice, but one of their recently injured players returned to the field.
Rookie cornerback Arthur Maulet, who's vying for a nickel role, was back on the field for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury last Monday. Maulet wore a red no-contact jersey, but his presence on the field was still a good sign of his recovery.
In addition to the players who didn't practice, two of the Saints' top defensive tackles -- Sheldon Rankins and David Onyemata -- did not finish the session.
