Vikings sign two former Saints running backs ahead of their Week 5 matchup

The Minnesota Vikings have added depth to their practice squad by picking up a pair of running backs who previously played for New Orleans, Devin Neal and Audric Estime. This roster move coincides with a critical juncture for the Saints, whose backfield depth took a hit when Travis Etienne Jr.

sustained a hamstring issue during their recent loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Both Neal and Estime parted ways with New Orleans earlier in the year following their respective health setbacks and subsequent injury settlements.

The timing of these acquisitions adds extra intrigue to the upcoming fifth-week schedule, as the Saints are set to play host to Minnesota, potentially putting these two rushers on the opposite sideline against their former squad.
