Saints Coach Sean Payton said tailback Deuce McAllister was signed to lead the team out onto the field and serve as a captain, but not to play in Saturday’s playoff opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
Originally, McAllister had agreed to serve as a guest captain for the game to help fire up the team and the fans. Then when defensive tackle Rodney Leisle suffered a knee injury, General Manager Mickey Loomis suggested that they should sign McAllister to the roster to make him an official part of the team.
McAllister, who has not been with a team since the Saints released him in February, isn’t quite ready to jump right back into the action, though.
“This is more about doing something the right way and bringing the guy back,” said Payton, who said he contacted McAllister about three weeks ago to see if he would be available.
