That’s a formidable lineup. But when they measure Dioubate at the NBA Scouting Combine, he will be not taller than 6-6. Book it.

Chilly & damp weather conditions for Saints practice today at Stade Montbauron in suburban Versailles. Players seemed to enjoy the brisk workout, several dancing to Choppa Style soundtrack. Feel certain it’s the only practice they’ve had with a long jump pit on the sideline.

The Saints and owner Gayle Benson have a litany events scheduled between now and game day on Sunday. As a result, league and local officials wanted to brief and assure Benson via the call that everything is a go.

From Saints VP of communications Greg Bensel: Gayle Benson was briefed in an afternoon zoom call with NFL Security chief Cathy Lanier and league executives Peter O’Reilly and Brett Gosper ahead of this weekend’s activities and game in Paris. Mrs. Benson was pleased with the report. She thanked the NFL, the French Government and the Saints security staff on the robust security measures that are in place to provide a safe and secure environment for NFL fans attending the game in Paris this weekend.

Was told the same thing by Brett Gosper today. Said the league has not even discussed any contingency plans because it is so confident in playing the game in Paris.

Bonjour from the Times-Picayune coverage team in Versailles. @ByLukeJohnson @Matthew_Paras

The Saints’ home away from home this week: Stade de France.

We have filed our stories from MetLife and @ByLukeJohnson & @Matthew_Paras and I are now at JFK for our overnight flight to Paris. We will have four full-time staffers in 🇫🇷for the week, so check out NOLA.com for full coverage of this historic game.

That'll do it. The Saints will snap their three-game losing streak and win 34-27. But the Giants made them work for it down the stretch. A lot of relieved souls on the New Orleans sideline after that wild NY comeback falls short.

MetLife Stadium is less than half full but the hearty fans who have stuck around are being treated to a wild final quarter. The Giants have scored two consecutive TDs to make this thing interesting. It's 34-24 Saints with 5:05 left.

The avalanche continues: Shough hits Olave for an 18-yard TD and its now 34-10 Saints. Giants fans are heading to the exits at MetLife Stadium....

The Saints have scored on five consecutive drives. Since the fumble recovery on the kickoff return, it's been TD, TD, TD and FG. 27-10 Saints lead....

Looks like it will be Emerson and Riley at corner for the second half.

Boos rain down on the Giants after their third consecutive offensive penalty.

This game has officially turned: Shough hits Alvin Kamara with a short pass in the right flat, and he does the rest, eluding three defenders en route to a 31-yard TD catch-and-run. It's 17-10 Saints.

Bryce Lance gets the first touchdown of his NFL career and we're tied at 10 with 1 second left in the half. Big turnaround here at MetLife.

I like the aggressiveness here. Kellen Moore is throwing caution to the wind here, going for it on fourth down at the 2, down 10-3.

Out of nowhere this game has turned. Carlson's 58-yard field goal is followed by a forced fumble by Isaiah Stalbird on the kickoff return. Then Shough scrambles inside the Giants' 5. It's now first-and-goal, Saints trail 10-3 but just a personal foul penalty on NYG.
