Foxboro, Mass. – The preseason opener Thursday night totally will not be an unveiling of the 2016 New Orleans Saints. In fact, many veteran Saints will be kept under wraps for the encounter against New England at Gillette Stadium at 6:30 p.m. central.
Among them will be quarterback Drew Brees, who said he only expects to play a series against the Patriots, which made more critical the work that was done in joint practices with them Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Very important, because you get a lot of reps, you get put into a lot of situations,” Brees said Wednesday.
