NEW ORLEANS (AP) ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â The New Orleans Saints claimed cornerback Derek Ross off wavers on Wednesday.

Ross was waived by the Atlanta Falcons.

A third-round draft pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2002, he went to the Falcons after the 12th game last year.

Ross, 5-foot-10, 197 pounds, played in eight games with Dallas and two with Atlanta last season. He missed the first four games of the season after surgery on his right knee

:cool: If he comes back from the injury problems from last year, we got a very solid corner.
