Zach Wood returns to practice for New Orleans Saints

Zach Wood, the long snapper for the New Orleans Saints, participated fully in practice on October 15, marking his return from injured reserve. Wood had been sidelined for four weeks due to a calf strain and is expected to play in the upcoming game against the New York Giants. The Saints previously released fill-in long snapper Cal Adomitis following his challenges during the Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Wood was the long snapper for 150 consecutive regular-season games prior to his injury and is aiming to reclaim that role promptly.
