New Orleans Saints DB Lorenzo Styles Jr. (shoulder) continues to rehab his shoulder injury, and he will not see the field until training camp. He could be a candidate to replace departed nickel CB Alontae Taylor, and he might also have a spot on special teams. ‘Oftentimes for guys on [Day 3], the path to the roster is special teams,’ general manager Mickey Loomis said. ‘So, it’s either they have experience in their college career or they have the traits that we think are necessary to become special teams players.’
