Saints sign WR Cedric Tillman to practice squad

Tillman, who had 71 catches for 833 yards and five touchdowns over three seasons with Cleveland, was released by the Browns when they set their initial 53-man roster. The move comes as the Saints will be without first-round pick Jordyn Tyson for at least the first four games due to injury, while Mason Tipton starts the season on the physically unable to perform list. afsport.lat

With Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, and rookies Bryce Lane and Barion Brown on the active roster, Tillman's experience may be valuable as the Saints head into Week 1.
