When Julian Blackmon recorded his first interception in practice with the New Orleans Saints, there was no one more excited than defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.

Chris Olave knows it's coming. He's waited nine months to get hit again on the football field. Nine months of waiting and wondering. No one was more excited to don pads Monday for the New Orleans Saints' first day of full-contact practice than Olave, the team's supremely talented fourth-year receiver. After nine months of meetings, doctor's visits, and consultation about his health and football future, Olave was in his element and back on the field, the place he feels most at home. SEE MORE >>

Gray left the practice field with a trainer during a punt team drill and did not return to practice. SEE MORE >>

Brian Young enters his first season as the team's assistant defensive line coach and his 16th campaign as a valued member of the New Orleans Saints coaching staff. Young has worked with all of the club's front seven position groups after first breaking into the ranks as a coaching assistant in 2009 following the conclusion of a nine-year playing career and 124 games along the defensive line in the NFL.
