Report: Jamaal Charles to visit Saints
Free-agent running back Jamaal Charles is scheduled to visit the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The 31-year-old Charles spent last season with the Denver Broncos but drew only 69 carries for 296 yards and one touchdown. He suffered major injuries that shortened his 2015 and 2016 campaigns.
Prior to his stint in Denver, Charles played nine seasons for the Kansas City Chiefs, earning trips to the Pro Bowl after four of them. He rushed for a career-high 1,509 yards with five touchdowns in 2012.
New Orleans is also working out former Baltimore Ravens running back Terrance West on Wednesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Saints could use some depth in the backfield with veteran Mark Ingram set to sit out the first four contests of the 2018 season due to a suspension after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
