Saints shuffle practice squad, bring back recently-cut kick returner
The New Orleans Saints made two changes to their practice squad on Friday in preparation for their Week 6 game against the New York Giants.
The New Orleans Saints made two practice squad adjustments on Friday, re-signing cornerback Jayden Price and releasing rookie offensive tackle Alan Herron. Herron, an undrafted Maryland Terrapins product, appeared in no Saints games this season. Price, a former UFL star, had appeared in all five opening games and contributed on special teams with one punt return for 11 yards and 10 kickoff returns for 228 yards.
He also lost a fumble in the second half of a Week 5 defeat to the Vikings. Price returns to the Saints' 17-man practice squad, which also includes wide receivers Kevin Austin Jr., Cedric Tillman, Jalen Moreno-Cropper, Kyrese Rowan, running backs Zamir White and Jarquez Hunter, tight end Stone Smartt, offensive linemen Easton Kilty and Alex Wollschlaeger, defensive linemen Jay Viar Suggs, Edward Fadil Diggs, Jonah Williams, David Ojabo, linebackers Jackson Sirmon and TJ Hall Jr., and kick returner Charlie Smyth, who benefited from an International Pathway Player exemption.
The Saints, currently 1-4, are experiencing a three-game road losing streak. They face the New York Giants, who stand at 3-1-1, on Sunday. This report is based on the original coverage by Saints Wire.
