Kwon Alexander arrived back at New Orleans Saints training camp. Sharif "Dr. Reef" Tabbah from Athletix Rehab Center shared with me, "Kwon wanted to be with the Saints." Sean Payton said, the team will slowly acclimate Alexander with the camp drills.

During Friday morning's walkthrough, Alexander was with the first-team defensive unit.

Linebackers' notable performances in camp (per John Hendrix):

Zack Baun has had several big plays and two interceptions.
Andrew Dowell is becoming a playmaker.
Pete Werner is proving his instincts as a football player is benefiting his role in the rotation.
