Saints Placed LB Michael Mauti On Non-Football Injury List

Nick Underhill of the Advocate reports that the Saints have placed LB Michael Mauti on the non-football injury list.

Mauti, 26, is a former seventh-round pick of the Vikings back in 2013. He lasted just over two years in Minnesota before he was waived at the start of the 2015 season and later claimed by the Saints.

Mauti is currently in the final year of his four-year, $2.22 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $675,000 for the 2016 season.

This year, Mauti has appeared in eight games and recorded nine tackles, one sack and a forced fumble for the Saints.
