The New Orleans Saints have claimed running back P.J. Hill off of waivers from the Washington Redskins, General Manager Mickey Loomis announced Tuesday.

Hill, 5 feet 10, 218 pounds, is a second-year player who was signed by the Saints as a rookie free agent out of Wisconsin after the 2009 draft. He carried 26 times for 128 yards with a team-leading three touchdowns in the preseason.

He spent the first six weeks of the regular season on the Saints’ practice squad, before being signed to the active roster of the Philadelphia Eagles, where he spent seven weeks. After a short, late-season stint on the Eagles’ practice squad, Hill was signed to the Redskins active roster for their season finale.
