Saints designate Wil Lutz to return from IR, other help not too far behind

The New Orleans Saints are finally starting to get healthy.

Kicker Wil Lutz has been designated to return from injured reserve. The Saints have clearly missed their Pro Bowl kicker as the team has made an abysmal 25% of its field goals this season (1 for 4) and missed two extra points.

The Saints signed Brian Johnson off the Chicago Bears practice squad, and are therefore required to keep Johnson on the active roster for three weeks. Lutz could return this week against the Seattle Seahawks, but a return against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home could be more likely to give Lutz enough time to practice with the team and test out his leg.
