Saints | Three placed on NFI list Sat Jul 20, 11:02 AM
The New Orleans Saints have placed WR Kenny Stills (undisclosed), LB Eric Martin (undisclosed) and LB Rufus Johnson (undisclosed) on the Non-Football Injury list.
| Footballguys view: The active NFI list is like the PUP list for camp as players can come off at any time. We like the long-term prospects of Stills if he develops his pro game. He's a fast receiver who can track deep passes with ease. Coming out of college there were some in the scouting community who compared him to Andre Roberts (Cardinals). |
