METAIRIE, La. (AP) -- The New Orleans Saints have brought back former starting cornerback Mike McKenzie.
McKenzie, an 11-year veteran, was released by the Saints in the offseason following serious injuries to each knee in back-to-back seasons.
The Saints have been short on cornerbacks because of injuries to Tracy Porter, Jabari Greer, Randall Gay and Leigh Torrence.
Before a fracture to his right patella last November ended his season, McKenzie started 62 of 63 games, with 225 tackles, 58 passes defensed, 12 interceptions and one forced fumble.
No details on the deal were immediately announced Monday.
