In this story:

The Saints made several changes when they got back into the building on Wednesday. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi elaborated on several of them during his presser, with one of them hopefully helping to cut down on injuries. New Orleans introduced what Rizzi called an 'activation' period, or a fancy word for warming up where the players get a little sweat in before they go to work. Here's a look at their first injury report for Week 10.
