Tipton (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Tipton was making waves early in training camp, with his 4.33-second 40-yard dash time fully on display as both a wide receiver and return specialist. Unfortunately, he has missed both of New Orleans' preseason games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in early August. A lingering injury would normally keep a player out of preseason action, but with Tipton competing for a final spot on the Saints' 53-man roster, he could suit up for Sunday's exhibition finale against Tennessee.
