METAIRIE, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Saints have signed veteran
cornerback Chris McAlister.
The 32-year-old former Ravens star has been elected to the Pro
Bowl three times in his 10-year career but missed most of last
season with a right knee injury and was released by Baltimore last
February.
McAlister started for Baltimore's Super Bowl winner in 2001 and
ranked third on the Ravens' career list with 26 interceptions when
he was released. He also scored seven touchdowns for Baltimore,
including a 107-yard return of a missed field goal.
Both Saints starting cornerbacks are nursing injuries. Jabari
Greer has a groin pull and Tracy Porter a sprained left knee.
