METAIRIE Paul Hornung Jersey , La. (AP) — Newly signed veteran cornerback Marcus Williams and safety Robert Nelson have joined the New Orleans Saints at training camp.
The roster moves announced Sunday by coach Sean Payton give the Saints two players in the secondary named Marcus Williams, the other being a second-year safety and 2017 second-round draft choice.
The newly acquired Williams has played four NFL seasons Jaleel Johnson Jersey , mostly with the New York Jets, for whom he played 39 games with 14 starts. He was traded last season to Houston and played in 10 games there as a reserve Dorian O'Daniel Jersey , intercepting one pass.
Nelson also is entering his fifth NFL season. He played in seven games for Cleveland in 2014, 11 for Houston in 2016 and two last season with the Jets.
Payton says the club waived guard Trevor Darling and defensive back De’Vante Harris to make room on the 90-man training camp roster for the new defensive backs.
The Jets won’t have tackle Ben Ijalana in Thursday night’s game against Washington because of a shoulder injury he suffered when the two teams held joint practices this week.
Ijalana won’t be available for any of the Jets’ other games either. The team announced on Wednesday that Ijalana has been placed on injured reserve.
Ijalana started 13 games for the Jets in 2016 before moving back to a reserve role while appearing in 11 games last season. He was slated for swing tackle duties again this year and his injury comes at a moment when left tackle Kelvin Beachum is out of action due to a foot problem.
The Jets filled the roster spot by signing Gino Gradkowski. The 2012 Ravens fourth-round pick was Baltimore’s starting center in 2013 Durham Smythe Jersey , but went back to the bench the next year and then moved on to Atlanta in 2015. He last saw regular season action with the Panthers in 2016.
