Saints promote RB Dwayne Washington to active roster

The New Orleans Saints made another move to address the Mark Ingram-shaped hole in their offense, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The team promoted practice squad tailback Dwayne Washington to the active roster ahead of their Week 4 road game against the New York Giants.

The #Saints are promoting RB Dwayne Washington from the practice squad, source said. The former #Lions draft pick could help ease the burden off Alvin Kamara out of the backfield.
