NEW ORLEANS(AP) -- The Saints deactiviated starting linebacker
Scott Fujita for a second straight game as New Orleans prepared
to host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
Fujita strained his left calf during a victory over the New York
Giants in Week 6 and has not practiced since.
Troy Evans was slated to start in his place. Also inactive for
New Orleans were cornerback Leigh Torrence and running back
Lynell Hamilton, who practiced at fullback last week after Heath
Evans was placed on injured reserve.
Atlanta deactivated running backs Jerious Norwood (right hip)
and Jason Snelling (hamstring) and starting defensive tackle
Thomas Johnson (calf). Johnson was replaced in the starting
lineup by Trey Lewis.
