Herbie Teope reports that the Saints are re-signing LB Adam Bighill to their practice squad now that he has passed through waivers unclaimed.
Bighill, 28,ย wound up going undrafted out of Central Washington back in 2011 and eventually agreed to a deal with the BC Lions. He was a four-time All Star during his CFL career.
The Saints brought Bighill in a for a workout following last season and wound up signing future/reserve contract this pastย January. Unfortunately, the Saints cut him loose coming out of the preseason before adding him to theirย practice squadย a fewย days later.
New Orleans called Bighill earlier this year before waiving him and later re-signing him to their practice squad. He was promoted to their active roster last week and waived shortly after.
During his CFL career, Bighill recorded 489 tackles, 33 sacks, eight interceptions with one being returned for a touchdownย and eight forced fumbles over the course of 99 games and six seasons.
