Was that just a blip or will they follow that performance up with the same energy on Sunday? Here's our Pregame Report.

BACK IN THE DOME: This is the second of three straight home games for the Saints. Last week saw a lot of unexpected energy in there, as Darren Rizzi made it a point to say that the team was trying to get the Superdome back where it needed to be. The players got a good lift from fans, and they'll be needed again to help do their part on Sunday. It was encouraging to see the turnout.

CENTER PIECE: Getting Erik McCoy back in the lineup will be a huge shot in the arm for the Saints offense. He's been missed, to say the least. Connor McGovern did a nice job filling in for him, but his release earlier in the week signaled McCoy was ready to go and be back. We haven't seen him since Week 3 of the season when he was lost on the third offensive play of the game. It might be too little, too late for the Saints, but they at least can get some more consistency going.

INJURY WATCH: Pete Werner has a club on his right hand, and is questionable going into Sunday. He's going to be a game-time decision for the team, and that would be a pretty big loss if he can't go for New Orleans. He wants to play, but we'll see how that ends up. Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring) is trending in the right direction to return for the ssecondary after being a full participant of practice on Friday.

WINSTON'S RETURN: Jameis Winston is back in the building, and I expect him to get a pretty good reception from fans. He spent four seasons in New Orleans and we never got to see him go the distance when he was their starter in 2021. This will be the first time he plays against the Saints since 2019 when he was with the Bucs.
