Saints in need of RB depth

After keeping just two true running backs on their initial 53-man roster, the New Orleans Saints signed running back Mike Gillislee Sunday (Sept. 2) according to an NFL.com report.

Gillislee was released by the Patriots on Saturday (Sept. 1) after rushing for 960 yards and 13 touchdowns the last two years. (Times Picyanue)

Nerdy Football Analysis: With Mark Ingram suspended and the release of Jonathan Williams, the Saints were in need of running back help, especially for the first few weeks of the season. With only Boston Scott on the depth chart behind Alvin Kamara, Gillislee could be a short-yardage goaline option in New Orleans.
