Here’s some more depth in the secondary. The New Orleans Saints are signing cornerback Cameron Dantzler to their practice squad, per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. Dantzler participated in a group tryout in New Orleans last week but wasn’t initially signed.
He’s an interesting pickup. Dantzler is a former Minnesota Vikings third-round draft pick who has bounced around the league a bit. He joined the Houston Texans late this summer and practiced against the Saints for a few days before intercepting Jake Haener in their final preseason game, so he’s someone the coaching staff had an opportunity to evaluate closely.
Buy Saints TicketsWe’ll have to wait and see what the corresponding roster move is to add him. Other cornerbacks on the team include Marshon Lattimore, Paulson Adebo, Alontae Taylor, and Isaac Yiadom on the 53-man roster with Anthony Johnson and Faion Hicks further down the depth chart; Dantzler could be replacing one of them on the practice squad.
