The New Orleans Saints may have some reinforcements on the way early in the regular season. Rookie pass rusher Carl Granderson was reinstated on Saturday with an Exempt/Commissioner Permission roster exemption. This gives him two weeks to practice and work with the Saints before they must choose to promote him to the active, 53-man roster or waive and sign him to their practice squad. He had been listed on the Reserve/Did Not Report List after missing the start of training camp while incarcerated.
This follows Granderson’s changed sentencing in Wyoming court; accused of molesting two women at his off-campus apartment last November, he was initially sentenced to six months in jail back in July before his case was handed off to a new judge.
