The Saints are signing former All-Pro running back David Johnson to its practice squad, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Johnson has yet to play in the NFL this season.
Johnson was a star tailback just a few years ago, and it appears he’s on his way back to the league if things go well. Drafted in the third round by the Cardinals in 2015, Johnson spent the first five seasons of his career with Arizona, where he was named first-team All-Pro in 2016 when he led the NFL with 2,118 yards from scrimmage.
