CEH was never signed to the Saints' 53-man roster after joining their practice squad in late December. The former first-round pick saw his practice squad expire today, meaning he is now a free agent who can sign with any team. In two games played with the Saints, CEH rushed for 46 scoreless yards on 13 carries while adding another three receptions for 24 yards on five targets. He will turn 26 in April, and could land with another team this offseason in hopes of winning a roster spot in camp. In addition to Edwards-Helaire, running back Dalvin Cook, and wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie also saw their practice squad contracts expire and are now free agents.
Edwards-Helaire was brought in at the end of the season with the Saints dealing with a host of injuries in their backfield, and he rushed for 46 yards in his two appearances. The 25-year-old was once viewed as the "next big thing" at the tailback position, but now projects as nothing more than organizational depth. You just never really know.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is inactive for today s game vs. the Buccaneers. He comes up 50 yards short of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) is also out, leaving the backfield to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams. Edwards-Helaire is the best bet for touches but would be a desperation fantasy play. The Saints are 14-point underdogs.
The Saints won't have Kendre Miller (concussion) and probably won't have Alvin Kamara (groin).
