NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the New Orleans Saints will sign free agent kicker Blair Walsh to their practice squad as a potential fill-in should Wil Lutz be sidelined by COVID-19. It makes sense to keep an option in-house as an emergency replacement, but anyone upset by Lutz’s shaky performance in recent months won’t find Walsh to be much of an upgrade.
