The decision on who to cut off on the defensive line come the end of the preseason is going to be difficult for the New Orleans Saints coaching staff. Without Alex Okafor (ankle sprain), Cameron Jordan (veteran rest) and Marcus Davenport (minor muscle strain) not playing the defensive end players in particular have gotten extra looks and many are the making the most of them.
Several players have received significant snaps on the EDGE through the first two games. Trey Hendrickson (25 Defensive Snaps, 3 Special Teams) has continued where he left off last season and could quietly be in contention for the starting spot opposite Jordan.
