The New Orleans Saints will sign Paul Kruger, according to a report.

The Cleveland Browns released Kruger earlier this week.

Sheldon Rankins suffered a broken fibula during practice on Monday.

Rankins is expected to miss 6-8 weeks if he goes forward with surgery.

Rankins was the 12th overall pick by the New Orleans Saints at defensive tackle.

Rankins had been off to a solid start in camp so far, highlighted by his interception against Tom Brady in last week's joint practices with the New England Patriots.

John Kuhn has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.

The deal will be for the veteran's minimum and officially closes the door on a nine-year run with the Packers.

"He loved his time there, but he wanted to play," Gold said. "This was an opportunity, and coach [Sean] Payton was excited to know he was available and wanted to play. It's bittersweet, but it's also a great opportunity."

The Saints' primary fullback, Austin Johnson, suffered an unspecified injury in practice this week.

The Saints had only one other fullback on their roster: undrafted rookie Sione Houma.

The New Orleans Saints are pursuing a trade with the Dallas Cowboys for Ronald Leary, according to a source.

The Saints haven't had any luck advancing in talks with the Cowboys over recent months.

Leary asked for a trade this offseason. He carries a base salary of $2.553 million for next season.
