Minneapolis - Linebacker Adam Bighill will make his NFL regular-season debut against the Vikings in the Saints’ season-opener Monday night at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Bighill, a fan favorite during preseason and former CFL star, was activated from the practice squad (the contract of offensive tackle Bryce Harris was terminated to create a spot) for the linebacker-thin Saints, who entered the game with two linebackers inactive (Nate Stupar and Stephone Anthony). He will bolster the special teams units and also has shown he can play effective snaps at linebacker, if necessary.
