re-signed Adam Bighill to the practice squad after he cleared waivers Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the transaction.
Bighill, whom the Saints waived from the active roster Tuesday, was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Week Six's game against the Detroit Lions.
The 5-foot-10, 230-pound Bighill did not play on defense in the Saints' 52-38 win over the Lions, but he contributed 20 snaps on special teams, where he recorded a tackle.
Bighill first joined the Saints from the Canadian Football League on a reserve/future deal during the offseason.
