The New Orleans Saints announced on Saturday that they are placing CB Alontae Taylor on injured reserve and elevating DB DaMarcus Fields in his place.

He signed a four-year $7,204,684 contract that includes a $2,419,770 signing bonus.
During his four-year career at Tennesee, Taylor recorded 162 tackles, four interceptions, 15 pass deflections, and one touchdown.
