Saints Sign WR Tillman to Practice Squad

The New Orleans Saints signed former Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman to their practice squad to help fill the void created by injured rookie Jordyn Tyson.

The Saints, who won't have first-round pick Tyson for at least the first four games, added Tillman as an option to bolster their receiving corps. Tillman was released by Cleveland as they set their initial 53-man roster over the weekend. ipl-today.in

The 25-year-old Tillman has 71 catches for 833 yards and five touchdowns over three seasons with the Browns. With Mason Tipton also on the physically unable to perform list, Tillman's experience could be valuable as the Saints head into Week 1.
