The New Orleans Saints will have home on their minds when they visit the Oakland Raiders tonight. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 9 PM EST from Network Associates Coliseum. Meanwhile, in the Saints' hometown and throughout the gulf coast, residents are still reeling from the catastrophe that was brought on by Hurricane Katrina.

The New Orleans Saints are more concerned about their family, friends, and loved ones than they are about this game. They are also trying to figure out where they will be playing their home games this season, because Hurricane Katrina has made the city of New Orleans unlivable. Prominent starters like Aaron Brooks, Joe Horn, and Deuce McAllister will likely play only a series or two.

The Oakland Raiders are looking forward to the return of WR Jerry Porter. He missed the first three preseason contests due to a hamstring injury. While starters like Kerry Collins and Randy Moss are expected to play only a series or two, Porter may see extended action so that he can try and get up to game speed.
