Saints to activate fullback John Kuhn from injured reserve

The team plans to activate fullback John Kuhn from injured reserve on Wednesday, according to a source. The transaction would make him potentially available to contribute in the playoffs.

By activating Kuhn, the Saints open a three-week practice window before they would have to add him to the active roster. He could play after two weeks of practice, so the soonest he could play is in the divisional round of the postseason.

But, even with the move Wednesday, there's no guarantee Kuhn will play again this season. Fullback Zach Line has handled the role well for the Saints, and it's unclear if the offense would have use for a second fullback.

The best explanation for the move is that Kuhn was the best option for the Saints' second return-from-injured-reserve designation, so the team decided to activate him to see if could contribute.

Interesting. I wonder if he or Line will be re-signed in the off season.

A true professional. Hope we can keep him around until he retires (and maybe after).

A future in coaching it appears, maybe even with the Saints.

This guy can catch when he has to. Another endzone target?

He can block and catch. Especially if they believe he's a better blocker than Line, he'll get snaps.
