Here’s another option for the too-thin New Orleans Saints running backs room. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Houston Texans are waiving running back Eno Benjamin on Tuesday, putting the former Arizona Cardinals backup on the waiver wire. And the Saints were one of four teams to submit waiver claims when Arizona let Benjamin go — Houston had highest priority, so that’s where he landed, though New Orleans was also in the mix along with the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs.
The Saints are ahead of both of those teams in waiver priority this time, so they should have a good chance at landing Benjamin if they so choose. They’re currently fifth in waiver priority behind the Texans, Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Los Angeles Rams, none of whom submitted a waiver claim the last time Benjamin became available. So it’s very possible the Saints get their guy.
