Saints add well-traveled LB Darnell Sankey to practice squad

The New Orleans Saints made a move on their practice squad, per Nick Underhill of the Advocate. Linebacker Darnell Sankey agreed to terms with the Saints, joining his eighth team since signing with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2016. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound linebacker played college ball at Sacramento State

Sankey’s path to New Orleans ran through seven previous teams, including most of the AFC West and two stints with Indianapolis. Here’s the full list:

  • Denver Broncos, July 2016 to August 2016
  • Oakland Raiders, September 2016 to October 2016
  • Kansas City Chiefs, December 2016 to January 2017
  • Minnesota Vikings, July 2017 to August 2017
  • Indianapolis Colts, August 2017 to November 2017
  • Baltimore Ravens, November 2017 to January 2018
  • Indianapolis, January 2018 to May 2018
  • Detroit Lions, July 2018 to September 2018
