METAIRIE, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Saints placed seventh-round
draft choice Adrian Arrington on injured reserve Friday and
released seven other players.
Arrington, a receiver out of Michigan, had impressed coaches
during rookie camp, minicamp and early into training camp, but
severely sprained his toe during New Orleans’ opening preseason
game at Arizona.
He hadn’t played since and coaches were uncertain how long it
would take for him to recover enough to compete for playing time on
a team already deep in receiving talent. The move means Arrington
won’t play this season.
The Saints could have waived Arrington and re-signed him to
their practice squad if they hoped to play him this year, but such
a move would have risked another squad claiming the talented
receiver off of waivers.
Meanwhile, the Saints terminated the contract of recently
acquired veteran safety Lance Schulters and waived defensive end
Jeremy Geathers, tight end Ronnie Ghent, defensive end Marcus
Pittman, safety David Roach, guard Isaiah Ross and tackle Brian
Stamper.
Ghent, in his second season out of Louisville, had a touchdown
catch in the preseason and appeared to be an effective receiving
option during training camp. But he had an uphill climb to make the
Saints’ roster this season because of the return to health of 2006
starter Mark Campbell and the acquisition of former Giants star
Jeremy Shockey.
The moves made Friday lowered the number of players on the
roster to 67, but that figure must drop to 53 by 3 p.m. CDT on
Saturday.
