Day four of the New Orleans Saints' training camp ended with two losses -- one short term, one a bit more costly.

Trainers carted away wide receiver Saalim Hakim after the heat and sun got the best of him. For the Saints defense however, the loss of outside linebacker Martez Wilson for the next month, is much more expensive.

Wilson banged his left arm off safety Rafael Bush's helmet trying to make a play on running back Travaris Cadet during practice Monday. Wilson went down holding the arm.

Wilson bruised his bicep and likely will be out for the next four weeks.

He tweeted out this message to the Saints nation:

Thanks saint fans for
the support. With rehab and time I will be back out there soon. #WhoDat
