Welcome Back to FOX 40's coverage of the Saints in Training Camp. Not much is expected to happen this first practice  just a light morning of walk-thrus.

9:18 AM Most of the lineman and the injured players left the field after warming up and stretching out. The remainder of the linebackers and defensive backs are doing drills while special teams works on the opposite field.

9:47 AM Jonathan Vilma is on the bike and doing some individual workouts like he did after Sunday morning's walk-thru. The remainder of the guys who aren't on special teams have all gone in.

9:59 AM The guys are in the cooling tent for a break from the heat. Today is supposed to be another scorcher. It's a good thing they switched the afternoon practice here at Millsaps to a night one at Veterans Memorial Stadium across the street.

10:14 AM Today's session wrapped a little earlier than scheduled. The next practice should be more interesting. So we'll be back with more live updates when that one starts at 7:30.
