Star attractions like Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, Mark Ingram and Cameron Jordan are unlikely to play in the New Orleans Saints' second preseason game Sunday at the Los Angeles Chargers. Michael Thomas Jerseys If they do, it should be a short and sweet cameo. But fear not; this will still be a must-watch exhibition since the Saints’ entire rookie class appears ready for a prime-time test. Willie Snead Jerseys First-round cornerback Marshon Lattimore, first-round offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk and third-round defensive end Trey Hendrickson should all make their debuts after minor injuries kept them out of last week’s preseason opener.

It’s an especially big game for Lattimore and Ramczyk, who need all of the real-game experience they can get over the next few weeks. Brandin Cooks Jerseys Ramczyk will almost certainly be the Saints’ starting left tackle to start this season, since veteran Terron Armstead is expected to miss at least half the year with a shoulder injury. Drew Brees Jerseys That’s a somewhat scary thought, based on Ramczyk’s inexperience. But so far, the 32nd pick out of Wisconsin looks like the Saints’ best option. The 6-foot-6, 314-pounder has handled himself well since being thrown into the fire at the start of training camp. He’s battled his share of highs and lows, but he hasn’t been overwhelmed, even when going against one of the NFL’s best defensive end tandems in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram during joint practices with the Chargers this week.

Ramczyk will face them again Sunday night. Kenny Vaccaro Jerseys Then next week he’ll get the Houston Texans' J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney. Lattimore, meanwhile, became even more important this week in the wake of news that starter Delvin Breaux will be sidelined for six weeks with a fractured fibula. A 6-foot, 192-pound speedster, Lattimore absolutely has the talent and potential to be a NFL starter. But he is still just 21 years old, with only one full year of starting experience at Ohio State. And he’ll have to play catch-up after missing two weeks of training camp with a minor knee injury.
