With the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers three days away, the Saints are going to use today's final practice to game plan for the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, on Sunday.
"We finished practice in pads (Thursday morning) with an emphasis on installation," head coach Sean Payton said. "We'll practice again this afternoon and then after that practice we'll begin installing the game plan for Pittsburgh so these guys can hone in on exactly what we want to use and what we want to get done in this first game.
"(Today) we'll have morning meetings, back off the morning practice and adjust it to an afternoon practice only. The morning will consist of meetings and weights with a lunch and an afternoon practice devoted to Pittsburgh."
The Saints will break camp Saturday and fly to Canton to face the Steelers in a 7 p.m. kickoff on NFL Network.
