Overview

• Bonitto had a minor procedure to remove a non-weight-bearing bone spur from his foot, resulting in a small, three-stitch incision and missing joint practices this week.
• Coach Sean Payton emphasized the surgery was strictly medical and unrelated to Bonitto’s contract negotiations, and said he should be back at practice next week.
• With the short recovery window, analysts consider his preseason playing time effectively over despite his expected return.
• Tight end Nate Adkins underwent a tightrope procedure on his sprained ankle that will sideline him into the start of the regular season.
• Left tackle Garett Bolles exited practice after asthma-like breathing issues but was evaluated and is expected to recover without long-term effects.
