Coach Sean Payton says LB Dan Morgan is "100 percent" healthy and did "very well" in the Saints' minicamps.

Morgan, 30, has just 24 tackles since 2005, but could give Scott Shanle a run at weak-side linebacker. The Saints are looking for more playmaking at that position. Morgan would still be an awful bet to make it through 16 games.

"He's experienced and he's a guy who has been very productive and very successful in our league. The key with him is that he's in real good shape. He works extremely hard and he has trained well so I think the layoff in his case in regards to the physical aspect probably isn't as significant. The key is the mental work that he's doing along with the rest of these guys as they're picking up the system. As we move into training camp and put pads on, him staying healthy will be the big thing,” said Payton.

This was the first time we've ever seen linebacker Dan Morgan on the practice field and he looked pretty good to me, running around fluidly and showing some aggressiveness. He jarred a pass loose from tight end Dan Campbell at one point and batted down another while rushing to the line of scrimmage...
