Saints coming to Cincinnati for practice

Posted: Updated:
NEW ORLEANS, LA (FOX19) -

The New Orleans Saints will practice in Cincinnati this week to avoid Tropical Storm Isaac.

The Saints are flying to Cincinnati on Monday evening in preparation for their final preseason game against the Titans on Thursday in Nashville and will practice at Paul Brown Stadium Tuesday and Wednesday.

The two teams will not practice together and the Bengals will not alter their practice schedule.

"I think their organziation feels comfortable (with the Bengals) and (Saints owner) Mr. Benson and Mike (Brown) have a great relationship," said Marvin Lewis. "Logistically, it works out well."

The Saints practiced in Cincinnati in 2007 the days leading up to preseason game at Paul Brown Stadium. 

The latest National Weather Service forecast has Isaac coming ashore on the Mississippi Gulf Coast just east of Louisiana on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Each updated forecast has had the storm landing farther west than the previous one.
