The New Orleans Saints were quick to make a move after losing starting defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins to a torn Achilles. New Orleans will reunite with Tyrunn Walker, a former undrafted free agent who began his career with the Saints. The signing was first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Walker was a player who shouldn’t have gotten away from the Saints in the first place. He was a productive part of the defensive line rotation for several years before leaving for the Detroit Lions in 2015. Unfortunately, Walker broke his leg early in the season and spent time with the Lions, Los Angeles Rams, and Buffalo Bills in the years that followed before returning to New Orleans.
