Hawthorne (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Saints' official site reports. Hawthorne returned to practice in a limited capacity last Friday, yet the linebacker logged a second consecutive absence due to an ankle injury. If he's able to keep up his current level of activity, his first appearance since Week 2 could come to pass. When active, he's displayed the ability to rack up tackles, with three 100-tackle campaigns in six seasons to date.
