Michael Mauti is returning to the New Orleans Saints, according to his agent Mike McCartney. The Tuesday afternoon news was also confirmed by Mauti, who gave a simple ‘Who Dat’ on the report.
The Saints lost Nate Stupar to a torn ACL on Sunday, which seemingly opened the door for another player to return who can contribute on special teams. As a former captain of the unit and a player who spent time with the Saints during training camp and the preseason, Mauti should fit right in with the team.
