The New Orleans Saints welcomed a number of familiar faces back to practice on Thursday.
Lance Moore, Carl Nicks, Roman Harper, Jermon Bushrod, Scott Shanle and David Thomas were among more than a dozen veteran free agents who practiced for the first time in training camp.
Veteran free agents who signed with their respective teams in the past week had to wait until the Collective Bargaining Agreement was ratified on Thursday before they could return to practice.
