Coleman left with a chest injury. Nothing new on Morgan, Payton said.

Kenyon Coleman left practice, via WVUE's @ChadSabadie. Coleman apparently slammed his helmet down in frustration.

— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 6, 2013

Coleman wasn't thrown out of practice or anything so frustration could be injury related.

Roman Harper with a sack, Will Smith a batted pass and Moore drops deep ball on fourth to end another two minute drill and practice.

— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 6, 2013

So, fans will love this. 2-minute drill. First down. Brees looks for Moore but Roman Harper reads the play and intercepts the pass.

That Graham TD was followed by a nice catch by Marques Colston at the touch line in front of Corey White. Great catch in coverage.

— WWL-TV Sports (@wwltvsports) August 6, 2013

Steve Breaston just faked the pants off of Rod Sweeting to beat him deep in individuals. Of course, Sweeting actually kept his pants on.

— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) August 6, 2013

Marques appears to be just fine. Went high over Malcolm Jenkins to catch a pass in 1on1 work. The crowd politely applauded the effort.

— WWL-TV Sports (@wwltvsports) August 6, 2013

Keenan Lewis came through with PBU against Kenny Stills in individual drills. When drill was over, talked w/ Stills to teach about the play
