Former New Orleans Saints linebacker Curtis Lofton will be back with the team for the preseason, but not on the field.
Garland Gillen of Fox 8 said in a Twitter message posted Monday that Lofton will be a part of the station's preseason game broadcasts.
Fired up to announce @CurtisLofton50 will be our analyst for #Saints preseason games. All four @Saints games can only be seen on @FOX8NOLA.

The durable Lofton never missed a start in three seasons with the Saints, from 2012 to 2014.
