METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints decided to make special changes to their roster barely one week into training camp.
They are signing kicker Patrick Murray as competition for second-year pro Wil Lutz, according to Murray's agents Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod. They are also bringing back longtime long snapper Justin Drescher while cutting Thomas Gafford and Chase Dominguez, the New Orleans Advocate reports.
It's hard to imagine that Lutz is in any danger, barring a major collapse this preseason or an injury. So far, Lutz has been running unopposed throughout training camp and looking solid in practice (to the untrained eye, anyway).
