METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints' receiving corps keeps getting healthier by the week.
Third-year receiver Tre'Quan Smith was activated off of injured reserve Saturday -- a day before the Saints host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the divisional round -- after fellow receivers Michael Thomas and Deonte Harris returned from IR last week. Smith missed the last three games with an ankle injury before returning to practice this week.
Smith caught a career-high 34 passes for 448 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games this season. But the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is equally valuable as one of New Orleans' best downfield blockers in the run game.
