Following Thursday’s practice at New Orleans Saints training camp in West Virginia, head coach Sean Payton spoke with the media. He confirmed that three cornerbacks came to work out for the team today, one being Alfonzo Dennard.

“We have three cornerbacks who worked out today, two veterans, one young guy,” Sean Payton said.

Can confirm Alfonzo Dennard is working out today — Nick Underhill (@nick_underhill) August 6, 2015

Dennard spent the earlier part of the offseason with the Arizona Cardinals, but he was waived July 29. A Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots a season ago, Dennard was drafted by the Pats in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft. His career numbers total to 90 combined tackles, five interceptions, 17 passes defended, a forced fumble and a defensive touchdown. Not bad.

The news of the workout comes while corners Keenan Lewis, P.J. Williams and Damian Swann remained sidelined Thursday. However, Sean Payton said Lewis could return to practice as soon as Friday, in time for the team’s first scrimmage. Delvin Breaux also missed time Wednesday, but he returned to action in the nickel spot Thursday.

There’s no telling whether or not the Saints will sign Dennard or the other two corners who reamain unnamed, but if so, they’ll likely be there for camp body purposes. However, Dennard has shown flashes at times since taking his talents to the National Football League from the University of Nebraska, Stanley Jean-Baptiste‘s Alma mater. He could come in and compete.

We’ll keep the story fresh with any updates if anything else happens.
