Saints host CB Desmond Trufant for free agent tryout

In addition to the flurry of roster moves they reported to the daily NFL transactions wire on Monday, the New Orleans Saints also brought in a familiar face for a free agent meet-and-greet: cornerback Desmond Trufant.

Trufant, who turns 31 on Sept. 10, spent the 2020 season with the Detroit Lions after playing his first seven years with the Atlanta Falcons, where he won Pro Bowl recognition back in 2015. But injuries slowed him down and he’s only appeared in 15 or more games twice in the last five years.

Still, the Saints are running so thin at cornerback that he’s worth a look.
