Herron missed Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Herron was forced to miss Thursday's practice after sustaining a knee injury just one day prior. The veteran offensive lineman came over from Las Vegas earlier in the offseason, and he'll likely be fighting for a depth role on the Saints' offensive line once he returns to the field.
The Saints signed Herron on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. New Orleans will be Herron's third NFL team over four seasons. He now is in line to compete for a roster spot along a Saints offensive line that is retooling after a disappointing season last year.
