are down a fullback.
The Saints placed John Kuhn on injured reserve, according to Thursday's NFL Transactions report.
Kuhn suffered a torn bicep during practice and requires surgery, according a source familiar with the situation. The upcoming procedure and recovery timeframe could signal Kuhn is done for the season, the source said.
The Saints currently don't have another fullback on the roster heading to Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins in London.
With Kuhn moved to injured reserve, wide receiver Willie Snead was removed from the roster exemption list and is now on the active 53-man roster.
