The Saints re-signed linebacker Anthony Waters and signed fullback Marcus Mailei on Wednesday and released fullback Kyle Eckel. On Tuesday, they signed cornerback Marcus McCauley, released cornerback Chris McAlister and placed linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Waters, a third-year pro who spent the offseason in New Orleans, spent the last eight weeks on the Buffalo Bills practice squad.
Mailei, an undrafted free agent from Weber State, has spent the entire season on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad.
The Saints also made a change on their own practice squad, signing linebacker Prince Kwateng and releasing quarterback Chase Daniel.
