Buccaneers vs. Saints: Franchise connections The Saints are set to play their NFC South rivals Alvin Kamara Jersey , the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for the 53rd time on Sunday. The Saints currently have the bragging rights, as they lead the series 32-20. As always, coaches and players will see familiar faces on the opposing sideline, and today we take a look at some of the notable ones.PlayersLB Alex Anzalone, Bucs LS Drew Ferris and CB Vernon Hargreaves played at Florida together in 2014. Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and Saints LB Demario Davis played together with the New York Jets in 2015, Davis then spent the 2017 season with Tampa Bay K Chandler Catanzaro. Tampa Bay CB De`Vante Harris spent his first two NFL seasons with New Orleans from 2016-17 and his father Rod, played for the Saints in 1989.TE Josh Hill and OL Evan Smith were college teammates at Idaho State in 2009. Saints T Ryan Ramcyzk played with Bucs LB Jack Cichy in 2016 at Wisconsin.DE Cameron Jordan was at California in 2010 with Bucs P Bryan Anger and S Chris Conte, while Jordan, Conte and DeSean Jackson played together in 2007. New Orleans S Vonn Bell, CB Marshon Lattimore, WR Michael Thomas and Tampa Bay DE Noah Spence were college teammates at Ohio State.Buccaneers TE Cameron Brate had a 2015 stint on the Saints practice squad. CoachingSaints Head Coach Sean Payton and Tampa Bay Offensive Line Coach George Warhop served on the same staff with Dallas from 2003-04. Saints Linebackers Coach Mike Nolan and Tampa Bay Head Coach Dirk Koetter were both coordinators for Buccaneers Defensive Coordinator Mike Smith when he was Falcons head coach during a period spanning from 2012-14 when Nolan first arrived in Atlanta as defensive coordinator, also serving on the same Atlanta staff with Tampa Bay Assistant Wide Receivers/ Game Management Andrew Weidinger. Tampa Bay Def. Backs Coach Brett Maxie played safety for New Orleans from 1985-93 and also served on the same coaching staff with Saints Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen in Atlanta from 2004-05. Saints Director of Player Engagement Fred McAfee played for Tampa Bay in 1999, where he was a teammate of Buccaneers Dir. of Football Operations Shelton Quarles. Cooper Kupp returned to practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Womens Marcus Davenport Jersey , less than three weeks after the receiver injured his knee.While Kupp is still uncertain whether he'll play Sunday, the second-year pro is grateful to be anywhere near the field this quickly, since he also incurred a concussion one week before he was carted off the turf in Denver with that knee injury."It could have been worse," Kupp said. "Guys in this league go through a lot worse. It's football. You know these things are going to happen. At some point, everyone goes through some kind of injury if you play this game long enough. Hopefully you'll just move through this thing and work through it and get back out there playing the game I love."Kupp hopes to be in uniform when the Rams (8-0) visit the New Orleans Saints (6-1) in a tantalizing midseason NFC showdown, and coach Sean McVay expected to have LA's full complement of receivers at Jared Goff's disposal in what could be a high-scoring showdown with Drew Brees and coach Sean Payton.Kupp was hurt by a horse-collar tackle from the Broncos' Darian Stewart. One week earlier, he left a game in Seattle after taking a head hit.The dual experiences were a challenge for a receiver who never missed significant playing time in college at Eastern Washington or during his outstanding rookie season, when he led Los Angeles with 869 yards receiving and formed a tight bond with Goff."The first thing that goes through my head as soon as it happens is, 'I'm letting these guys down by not being able to be out there and compete,'" Kupp said. "You put so much time and effort into getting your body ready to play, and then when you're not able to because your body is not allowing you to, you feel like, 'What else could I have done to prevent this from happening?'"A receiver can't do much about a horse-collar tackle from behind, and the injury was alarming to his teammates."I think the knee one was definitely scary to see Marcus Davenport Jersey White ," Goff said. "You see those happen all the time, and usually they're not very good. Whenever someone gets carted off like that, usually it doesn't end up very good. I think he's recovered really quickly."Kupp had 30 catches for 438 yards and five touchdowns in the Rams' first five games this season. During his absence from most of the past three games, Los Angeles relied on second-year pro Josh Reynolds to fill Kupp's usual spot in the Rams' wideout trio of Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks and Kupp.Reynolds had only seven catches in the last four games, but two went for touchdowns in last week's 29-27 win over Green Bay. McVay loves to use his top three receivers in multiple roles with minimal substitutions, so Reynolds' ability to fill in for Kupp was vital."It's a great group of three," McVay said. "But I think what's been great, if you're going to try to spin a positive on Cooper being out, is it's given us a chance to see what we believed in Josh Reynolds, and that he's a starting-caliber receiver, certainly isn't too big for him."The Rams' passing balance has been a major asset in their unbeaten start. Woods (672 yards receiving) and Cooks (643 yards receiving) are both on pace for 1,000-yard seasons, while running back Todd Gurley is a major factor in the passing game again with 30 catches for 351 yards."Those three are very good receivers that can do everything Marshon Lattimore Jersey White ," McVay said of Woods, Cooks and Kupp. "I think their skill sets complement each other really well."NOTES: CB Sam Shields missed practice Thursday with an illness. ... LB Trevon Young returned to full participation in practice. ... Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips jokingly referred to this weekend's trip to New Orleans as "another revenge game for me." Phillips was the Saints' 38-year-old interim coach for four games in 1985, the first of his six stints as an NFL head coach. "Then they shipped me out of there, so I'm still mad at them," Phillips said laughingly. ... Dante Fowler said his first full practice with the Rams went well, and he is optimistic about being able to contribute Sunday if the Rams put him on the field. Los Angeles acquired the pass-rusher from Jacksonville in a trade Tuesday. "That's probably one of the easiest positions to come in and play," Phillips said. "You say, 'Hey, you go rush the passer on this down.' But he's picked up everything well. Seems like a sharp guy. Picked up everything so far. We may use him in our first- and second-down defense, too."
