A familiar face is back with the New Orleans Saints.
Latavius Murray signed to the practice squad on Tuesday, giving New Orleans some extra insurance in the backfield if Alvin Kamara’s rib injury keeps him out of Week 2 against the Bucs.
The Saints also needed Murray because not only did Kamara sustain an injury on Sunday, but No. 3 running back Dwayne Washington is also on the injury report with a neck issue, leaving the Saints depth chart thin.
Murray, 32, played with the Ravens last season where he rushed for 501 yards on 119 carries, scoring six touchdowns.
He spent the previous two years with the Saints as Kamara’s backup, including an impressive 2019 campaign in which he accumulated more than 800 yards from scrimmage.
By being on the practice squad, Murray is eligible for three different one-week promotions to the active roster during the season.
