Saints hoping Chris Hogan can channel his 2016 self

With the recent signing of wide receiver Chris Hogan, it’s evident the New Orleans Saints are desperate for help at the receiver position.

Michael Thomas is expected to miss a substantial amount of time after having surgery on his ankle and Deonte Harris might be out for the first game or two of the season after getting arrested in mid-July for driving under the influence of alcohol.

This leaves Tre’Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway and Adam Trautman as the primary pass-catchers on an already-thin roster when it comes to skill position depth.

So, as part of an effort to bolster this depth, the Saints recently went out and signed Chris Hogan — the former Jets, Panthers, Patriots and Bills receiver.
