Saints sign former Grambling star Martez Carter to the practice squad

The New Orleans Saints lost one Louisiana native from their practice squad and replaced him with another.

The Saints signed former Grambling running back Martez Carter to the practice squad, per a league source. Carter, a native of Monroe, Louisiana, fills a roster spot opened when the Eagles signed Boston Scott, a Baton Rouge native and Louisiana Tech alumnus, off the practice squad.

Carter signed with the Redskins after the 2018 draft, but was waived with an injury designation in mid-August and did not sign with another team until the Saints brought him on this week. Carter carried the ball seven times for 45 yards in the preseason with the Redskins.

He flashed some all-purpose ability in his time at Grambling, racking up nearly 6,000 career rushing, receiving and return yards. He finished his college career with four kick return touchdowns, nine receiving touchdowns and 30 rushing touchdowns.

It has been a long process to get his NFL shot, but Martez Carter said it was ‘worth the wait’

Wasted a draft pick on Boston Scott. Pick made no sense. Didn't use him, actually cut him twice. Justin Jackson is tearing it up right now but that is the draft. Sometimes you hit in the late rounds but this year nada. 4 and 5 busted.
