The New Orleans Saints are preparing to waive veteran cornerback Ken Crawley on Tuesday, per a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Crawley was active for the first time this year on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, though he played only a dozen snaps, all on defense. He has been a healthy scratch for every previous game this season.
Schefter reporting this now is likely a maneuver by the Saints to try and drum up interest in Crawley from potential trade partners; if waived, he will be ineligible to return to the Saints practice squad due to appearing in too many games since joining the team.
