New Orleans Saints release Tim Hightower, Mike McGlynn, place Davis Tull on IR

I guess the Saints have enough RBs; I thought he played well in the pre-season.

The New Orleans Saints have terminated the contracts of running back Tim Hightower and reserve offensive lineman Mike McGlynn and placed rookie outside linebacker Davis Tull on the injured reserve list, according to the NFL transactions report.

The Saints also signed defensive back Don Jones, fullback Toben Opurum and receiver Seantavius Jones from the team's practice squad to the active roster.

I doubt he or McGlynn cleaned out their lockers.
Numbers game right now until we figure out who is healthy, and who might get claimed

Don't know much about Don Jones but Toben and Seantavius are pretty decent special teams players.

This ^^^^^^^that is my thinking as well. Payton could be trying to pad special teams. We know that the offense is set to click on all 8 cylinders while the defense is a question mark (at least for now).

Having a solid special teams can take you to the next level come playoffs.

Who is going to replace Graham's redzone protection is still a question mark.

IMO there are 2 options:

Option 1: Colston becomes Brees' new security blanket.

Option 2: The offensive line and Ingram become the league's newest nightmare.

Colston becomes a new security blanket?!? What was he all those years before Graham came along?! I think it's a role he knows well.

Too bad about Tull but now he can focus on getting completely healthy.
