Mitchell-Paden (knee) is practicing during the Saints' minicamp, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.
Mitchell-Paden was dealing with a knee injury at the end of last season that landed him on injured reserve in January, but he appears to be back in football shape with minicamp underway. He'll be competing for a depth spot as an in-line tight end on the Saints' 53-man roster for 2026.
