Mark Ingram will start off the 2018 Season for the Saints serving a four-game suspension for testing positive for the use of a banned PED. That much is known. Who will replace Ingram during that four weeks of September is one of the biggest questions the team is dealing with during preseason. On Thursday night, in the Saints preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, running back Jonathan Williams made his claim on that job.
Against the Jaguars, and after Ingram and Kamara had left the game, the auditions started for the temporary roster spot.
