Saints sign ex-Pro Bowl RB to practice squad
The New Orleans Saints have had their running back depth tested after Mark Ingram suffered a sprained MCL in Week 8, and they made a move on Wednesday to address that.
Former Pro Bowl running back David Johnson has signed a practice squad deal with the Saints, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler first reported. The 30-year-old visited with the Saints prior to the season.
Johnson spent the last two seasons with the Houston Texans. He rushed for just 228 yards in 13 games last year before going unsigned as a free agent. Johnson took to Twitter on Monday night to express how much he misses playing in the NFL.
