With Mark Ingram ruled out for the third game in a row, the Saints have decided to elevate a former All-Pro running back to their active roster.
On Saturday, the Saints promoted running back David Johnson from the practice squad. He agreed to a deal with New Orleans earlier this week.
During the 2021 season, Johnson had 228 rushing yards, 225 receiving yards and a touchdown for the Texans.
The Saints don't need Johnson to shoulder the workload in their backfield, especially with Alvin Kamara healthy.
Johnson may have a chance to potentially carve out a role for himself. After all, the only other healthy running back on the roster outside of Kamara is Dwayne Washington.
The Saints will enter this Sunday's game against the Rams with an underwhelming 3-7 record.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.
Johnson, 30, has not played in an NFL game since last season.

Now trade him for Nuk Hopkins as another poster said.

Johnson apparently had a very good workout in June but they couldn't agree on terms. He had a good enough workout this time to send the other two backs on the practice squad packing. If this guy can retain his mojo he's got some wheels and is a very accomplished pass catcher. I would like to see him get some reps tomorrow.

DJ was a pretty damn good player in the past. I do think we’re grasping at straws now. If he helps us, God knows we need it.

“Nuk”?
You must mean “He who smeared his and another man’s shite all over a hotel room at the combine” Hopkins.

He could well fit right in. I don't know what Ingram will have left in him.
