The New Orleans Saints announced that they have placed three rookies onto the non-football injury list Wednesday — outside linebacker Davis Tull, running back Marcus Murphy and offensive lineman Antonio Johnson.
Tull, the team’s first of three fifth-round picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, underwent surgery in March to repair a torn labrum. The Tennessee-Chattanooga product spent organized team activities and minicamp rehabilitating through little off-field drills.
Head coach Sean Payton said he expects a training camp return for Tull, who excelled as both a pass rusher and run stopper during his senior year of collegiate play.
