It had been a while since New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston took part in a competitive period of practice, but he got some extensive work in during a 7-on-7 period at Sundays practice in the Caesars Superdome.

Winston, whom the team has been bringing along slowly since he sprained his right foot in an August 8 practice, completed eight of his 10 attempts in the drill. He fired at least one touchdown in the red zone, to receiver DaiJean Dixon, but also threw an interception to linebacker Demario Davis.

He did not participate in full team drills Sunday, but coach Dennis Allen said he could play in those later in the week.

That was good, Allen said of Winstons participation. Obviously well go back and take a look at the tape, see what it looked like, but this is part of the natural progression.
