The New Orleans Saints waived linebacker Jaylon Smith on Tuesday, but he's back with the team on its practice squad, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The former Notre Dame star spent last season with the New York Giants and finished second on the team with 88 tackles (46 solo) despite missing four games. He also added a pair of quarterback hits, a sack and a fumble recovery.
Smith began his career with the Dallas Cowboys, who selected him with the No. 34 overall choice in the 2016 NFL draft.
