METAIRIE, La. (AP) -- Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says New Orleans has signed cornerback Jimmy Pruitt while cutting veteran kicker Josh Scobee and waiving offensive tackle Bryan Witzmann.
Scobee, a 12-year NFL veteran out of Louisiana Tech, was signed by New Orleans in March. He was expected to compete with incumbent Saints kicker Kai Forbath.
The 6-foot, 203-pound Pruitt participated in the club's rookie minicamp on a tryout basis last week.
Pruitt is coming off a four-year-career at San Jose State, where he played in 47 games and was credited with 183 tackles, eight interceptions, 28 passes defended, six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
