As expected, the Saints filled their open roster spot with receiver Adrian Arrington, who has spent the entire season on the practice squad. They signed former LSU defensive tackle Marlon Favorite to the practice squad to replace Arrington.

The Saints needed another healthy body at receiver because of the uncertain status of Robert Meachem's ankle injury. We'll get our first update on Meachem's health this afternoon.

Arrington (6-3, 192) has been with the Saints for two years since being drafted in the seventh round out of Michigan last year but he's never been on the active roster. He spent his rookie season in injured reserve.

Favorite (6-1, 317) has been bouncing around the league in his rookie season. He originally signed as an undrafted free agent with Carolina, then spent time on the practice squads in St. Louis, Kansas City and Seattle during the year.

Could be another chess move by Payton.
