On Wednesday, Sep. 5, the Saints waived rookie sixth round pick running back Boston Scott and brought offensive tackle Michael Ola back to the roster. And you have to get the feeling that the team isn’t even close to be done with moves prior to their season opener this Sunday, Sep. 9, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
For one, the team currently only has two running backs on the 53-man roster, Alvin Kamara and Mike Gillislee, along with fullback Zach Line. That would be fine for a chess team. But with football being a contact sport and with injuries being rather common, the Saints will need to address depth here quickly.
