The Saints kicked the tires on some new and old faces to fill the void at running back created by Khiry Robinson’s season-ending leg injury.
After working out Trent Richardson, Travaris Cadet and Tim Hightower earlier Monday, the Saints reached an agreement to bring Hightower back to town, according to a source.
Cadet previously played with the Saints before signing with the New England Patriots during the offseason.
Hightower spent training camp with the Saints and made the initial 53-man roster, but was cut before the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
He was signed back to the roster the Monday after the game and was then let go again the next day with an injury designation.
