After keeping just two true running backs on their initial 53-man roster, the New Orleans Saints signed running back Mike Gillislee Sunday (Sept. 2) according to an NFL.com report.
Gillislee was released by the Patriots on Saturday (Sept. 1) after rushing for 960 yards and 13 touchdowns the last two years.
The Saints will be without Mark Ingram (suspension) for the first four games of the regular season, and surprisingly cut running back Jonathan Williams after a strong preseason.
