Return man Brandon Tate hoping to help Saints after brief time away

Brandon Tate had a new experience at the beginning of this season.

For the first time in his 10-year NFL career, the wide receiver and return specialist was out of a job while the season was underway.

"It was pretty tough," he said, "but this is my 10th year, I've seen it all, so it's part of the game. I just kept my confidence up, my faith up and just kept working."

After three weeks hoping for another opportunity, Tate learned this week that the New Orleans Saints wanted him back, and there's a good chance he'll immediately become the team's punt returner, and potentially more, in Sunday's game against the New York Giants.
