Saints Sign RB Rob Kelley & WR Travis Dural, Place RB Javorius Allen On IR

The New Orleans Saints have signed RB Rob Kelley and WR Travis Dural to contracts on Tuesday and placed RB Javorius Allen on injured reserve. 

New Orleans also waived DB Chris Campbell with an injury designation.

The Saints previously worked out Kelley back in May, so he was on their radar as a potential addition.

Kelley, 26, wound up signing on with the Redskins as an undrafted free agent out of Tulane back in 2016. He played out the third year of his three-year, $1.62 million contract and made a base salary of $630,000 for the 2018 season.

Kelley was in line to be a restricted free agent this offseason, but the Redskins declined to tender him an offer. 

In 2018, Kelley appeared in two games and rushed for eight yards on two carries.

Allen, 27, is a former fourth-round pick of the Ravens back in 2015. He played out the final year of his four-year rookie contract with the Ravens before agreeing to a contract with the Saints this past May. 

In 2018, Allen appeared in 14 games for the Ravens and rushed for 110 yards on 41 carries (2.7 YPC) to go along with 35 receptions for 196 yards receiving and five total touchdowns.
