Hoyer (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday. He's expected to start Week 12 against the Saints.
Hoyer, who missed the last game and a half, has managed to avoid mistakes this season with just four interceptions and 13 touchdowns in seven games. This has the makings of a good week for Hoyer as New Orleans ranks last in scoring defense (31.5 ppg), overall defense (424.3 ypg) and passing touchdowns allowed (28).
