Running back Mike Gillislee visiting Saints after being cut by Patriots

After setting their initial 53-man roster on Saturday, the New Orleans Saints are looking for help at running back as they're bringing in a veteran running back for a visit Sunday.

The Saints will host Mike Gillislee on a visit after the 27-year-old was released by the New England Patriots on Saturday, according to a source. NFL Network first reported the visit.

With Mark Ingram suspended the first four games, Alvin Kamara will be the Saints' primary option in the backfield, but because the team doesn't want to give Kamara too big of a workload, the Saints spent this offseason evaluating their supplementary options.
