I enjoyed this from @Matthew_Paras, who went up to Chicago early this week to get a sense of how former Saints HC Dennis Allen is faring in his new home.

Former Saints coach Dennis allen holds fond memories of New Orleans. He's forming new ones in Chicago as the Bears' new defensive coordinator.

Swift was not on the injury report on Wednesday, which was an estimation because the team held a closed walk through. Since the injury did not occur in practice Thursday (where Swift was limited), it likely came from Monday's game at Washington. Ben Johnson said he is "hopeful"
D'Andre Swift's groin injury that popped up on yesterday's injury report was not from practice, per Ben Johnson.

Speaking for the first time since the Patriots game, #Saints WR Chris Olave didn't hide from the criticism. "If it touches my fingers or touches my hands, I’ve got to catch the ball.” https://t.co/v9M8A2KXua

After making some costly mistakes against the Patriots last week, Saints receiver Chris Olave said "Any ball that is in my radius, I feel like I should catch."

With a 1-5 record, the Saints might be sellers before the NFL trade deadline. Alvin Kamara reiterated that he wants to remain in New Orleans, but knows he only has so much control.
Alvin Kamara on the report last week about him meeting with Saints GM Mickey Loomis after the Saints received calls to gauge interest in a trade. For me, it's the piña colada line.

Four years ago, Spencer Rattler lost his starting job to Caleb Williams. The two took divergent paths from there and Rattler is still out to prove he belongs. But Sunday they'll meet again as two of the NFL's 32 starting QBs.

Alvin Kamara is basically on a maintenance schedule for the ankle, which is why he didn't practice today. Kellen Moore said that's not necessarily going to be the case for an entire season (limited or out on Wednesday) but that's the plan for now.
