Three New Orleans Saints players who missed Monday's season opener are on the mend.
Linebackers Nate Stupar (hamstring) and Stephone Anthony (ankle) and rookie defensive end Trey Hendrickson (illness) practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday. All three players will have two more days to test their readiness for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
Just two players missed practice on Wednesday, offensive tackles Terron Armstead (shoulder) and Zach Strief (knee). Both players are expected to miss at least the next few games.
