Running back Dontrell Hilliard has been one of Tulane's most reliable contributors on offense through the first half of the season, but he had one of his most frustrating performances of the year in last Friday's 24-14 loss to Memphis.
The junior had a season-low 21 rushing yards and muffed two punts that Memphis eventually recovered--one of which the Tigers turned into a field goal that cut the Green Wave (3-3, 0-2 in American Athletic Conference) lead to 7-6 late in the second quarter.
The Saints had an opening on the practice squad after the promotion of special teamer Jake Lampman.
