METAIRIE, La. — Free agent running back Kareem Hunt will visit the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
The Saints are looking for running back depth after Eno Benjamin was placed on injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles. Starting running back Alvin Kamara will be suspended for the first three games of the season due to a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Jamaal Williams, who signed with the Saints in free agency, and rookie Kendre Miller, a 2023 third-round pick out of TCU, will likely be the immediate backups behind Kamara.
The only other depth on the roster at the moment is rookie Ellis Merriweather and Kirk Merritt, who converted from wide receiver.
