Saints' Kendall Hunter: Signs with Saints

The Saints signed Hunter on Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Hunter enters a backfield that has been hammered by injuries this season. Among those on injured reserve are Mark Ingram (shoulder), Khiry Robinson (leg), and Marcus Murphy (ankle). While Hunter's last NFL carry occurred in 2013, he could spell Tim Hightower when he requires a respite over the last three games.
