Saints MLB Curtis Lofton (high ankle sprain) insists he could play this week if it was a regular season game. "I'm feeling good," Lofton said. "Just doing what I'm told. Just taking care of it. It's still preseason so it's still early. But once Week 1 rolls around, I'll be ready to go." Lofton said he played through a similar injury in the final three games of last season.
