Saints keep Hartley

VN:F [1.8.1_1037]
Rating: 10.0/10 (1 vote cast)

The Saints waived quarterback Chase Daniel Monday to make room on the roster for kicker Garret Hartley. Hartley returned last week from a four game suspension and now gives the Saints three kickers on the roster.

Head coach Sean Payton hinted last week that the team could make such a move, but that Hartley likely would be deactivated on game days. John Carney, who is 45 joined the team in the preseason after the league informed the team of Hartley’s suspension. Carney is six of seven in field goal attempts this season, the only miss a block coming in the opening game against Detroit.

Hartley, who is 25, has a strong leg and didn’t miss a kick last season, although he struggled this preseason.

The team will likely try and sign Daniel to the practice squad if clears waivers.

Monday the team returned to practice as they prepare for the Giants in the Superdome on Sunday.
