For Saints, David Onyemata’s return to the lineup is critical and timely

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle David Onyemata had to sit out the first game of the season on Monday night. That had to be painful as his teammates were having a feast at the sack buffet and Oyemata could only watch. But the end result was the Saints found a way to work around his absence, got six sacks on Deshaun Watson and came out 30-28 winners to open the season.

What happened to David Onyemata to get him suspended is something that might soon be a thing of the past. He was arrested back in January when the police got a call tipping them off to him being in possession of marijuana.
