Special teams coach Mike Westhoff has yet to rejoin the Saints Saquon Barkley Jersey , while still recovering from surgery, Josh Katzenstein of the Times-Picayune reports.

Sean Payton said in March he hoped Westhoff would return after surgery, which the head coach described as an issue from Westhoff's hip down his leg. Payton said this week that Westhoff still could return but not before training camp.

Westhoff, 70 Ryan Jensen Color Rush Jersey , retired after the 2012 season with the Jets. But Payton enticed him to unretire last November before the Saints' Week 11 game against Washington.

Westhoff, who spent 20 seasons in the NFL coaching for the Colts, Dolphins and Jets, improved the Saints' special teams units. His changes included adding backup quarterback Taysom Hill to the coverage and return units.

The Rams have made plenty of headlines this offseason with moves that brought Brandin Cooks Fernando Rodney Jersey , Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Ndamukong Suh to Los Angeles and those additions have led some to install the team among the favorites in the NFC for the 2018 season.

Even when you're making additions to a team that won its division last year, winning the offseason doesn't always lead to wins on the field. Head coach Sean McVay addressed that as the team started offseason work this week by saying the team has to "wipe the slate clean" as they prepare for the year to come.

That message reached defensive tackle Michael Brockers.

"I don't want to make it bigger than it is," Brockers said Authentic Customized Colts Jerseys , via ESPN.com. "We've brought in tremendous talents, but at the same time, we still have to put the work in. We can't fall into the hype. We just have to put our heads down and continue to grind."

The Rams made one of the bigger turnarounds in the league in 2017. Keeping those gains while finding ways to continue to improve provide a different challenge for 2018.
