METAIRIE, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Saints have re-signed tight end Tory Humphrey and waived cornerback Leigh Torrence.
Humphrey, who also plays on special teams, had been waived earlier in the week when the Saints added veteran linebacker Danny Clark to the roster.
Saints coach Sean Payton says his decision to bring Humphrey back and release a cornerback stemmed from his belief that starting cornerback Tracy Porter has recovered enough from a recent bout of left knee soreness to play well against the Minnesota Vikings in both team's season opener Thursday night.
Payton also says starting linebacker Jonathan Vilma is probable for the opener, while reserve running back Chris Ivory and reserve linebacker Stanley Arnoux will not play.
