Cameron Meredith did not participate in team drills Thursday Bo Horvat Jersey , but Sean Payton said the Saints receiver is “way ahead of schedule” in his return from a knee injury that kept him out all of last season.
“I made a comment to [Saints’ director of sports medicine] Beau [Lowery] two days ago during the walk-through,” Payton said, via Amos Morale III of the Times-Picayune. “Just watching him move around and, you guys saw him http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-lorenzo-carter-jersey , he’s way ahead of schedule.

Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News asked Taylor when he realized he wasn’t McDermott’s guy.
“Whether I was or whether I wasn’t, I’m not there anymore,” Taylor said. “That’s his decision moving forward. I still feel that I’d done more than enough to stay where I was. But at the end of the day, they made a decision to move forward Youth Rashaan Gaulden Jersey , and that’s their decision.”
Taylor said McDermott and General Manager Brandon Beane kept him informed of trade talks before the Bills sent him to the Browns on March 9. He said the phone conversation informing him of the trade “wasn’t a bad one.”
