Saints practice squad: Bobby Richardson in, Davis Tull out, sources say

With the initial 53-man roster set for the regular season, the New Orleans Saints on Sunday turned attention to the 10-man practice squad.

And part of the process includes bringing back a defensive contributor from the 2015 season.

The Saints plan to sign Bobby Richardson to the practice squad, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The Saints, however, are not planning to sign defensive end Davis Tull to the practice squad, according a source familiar with Tull's status.

-CB Brian Dixon: He played all 16 games for the Saints the past two years, primarily as one of the top special teams options. The 26-year-old lost his roster spot Saturday in part because running back Daniel Lasco looks ready for a big role on special teams.

-C Jack Allen: The undrafted rookie from Michigan State spent most of the summer as the second-team center, but the Saints chose guard Landon Turner as the final lineman on the roster.

- WR Jake Lampman: The 6-foot, 205-pound Lampman signed with the Saints following a successful tryout during rookie minicamp in May. The rookie, who entered the league out of Ferris State, finished the preseason with one catch for 19 yards.

- OL John Fullington: Fullington, who is listed at 6-5, 300 pounds, originally entered the league in 2014 as an undrafted free agent out of Washington State with the Green Bay Packers.

- FB Austin Johnson: Johnson, who has been with the Saints since 2013, was waived Saturday after losing the position battle with John Kuhn.

- TE Garrett Griffin: The 6-4, 240-pound Griffin, a rookie out of the U.S. Air Force Academy, joined the Saints in June. He had one catch for 14 yards during the preseason.

- The Star Press reported wide receiver Jordan Williams-Lambert, a rookie out of Ball State, is signing with the practice squad, but he's not on the official list. The Saints have two openings.
