Saints' Eno Benjamin: Tears Achilles
Eno Benjamin appears to have torn his Achilles during Saturday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Benjamin joined the New Orleans Saints last December and quickly became important depth, with the running back room depleted due to various injuries.

Saints' Eno Benjamin: Finishes 2022 in fringe role
Eno Benjamin had two rushes for three yards during Sunday's 10-7 loss against Carolina. Over 15 games between Arizona, Houston and New Orleans in 2022, he recorded 73 rushing attempts for 313 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 25 receptions (34 targets) for 193 yardsBenjamin finished the season in a reserve role alongside David Johnson, as both backs joined New Orleans when No. 2 running back Mark Ingram went down with a season-ending knee injury in early December. Benjamin ultimately had a slightly smaller workload compared to the 31-year-old Johnson, though neither saw any significant action with Alvin Kamara and do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill shouldering the New Orleans Saints' rushing duties over the final four games. Instead, the vast majority of the 23-year-old's production came over 10 games with the Cardinals this season before he was waived by the team Nov. 14. Benjamin also never carved out a significant role on special teams following his departure from Arizona. He will now enter the final year of his rookie contract during the 2023 season.

Benjamin's three touches did outpace fellow backup David Johnson's zero. Both Benjamin and Johnson should once again see extremely limited workloads in Week 18 unless the Saints choose to rest starters after they were officially eliminated from playoff contention Sunday.

Saints' Eno Benjamin: Lands in New Orleans
The New Orleans Saints claimed Eno Benjamin off waivers from the Texans on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Benjamin will move on to his third locale of the season, following stops in Arizona and Houston. While he was with the Cardinals, Benjamin was reasonably productive while handling a three-down role from Weeks 4 through 6 in the absence of James Conner, a stretch in which he averaged 50.3 rushing yards and 24 receiving yards per game. Once Conner returned, however, Benjamin was placed on waivers shortly thereafter, and he never received much of an opportunity to carve out work upon landing in Houston. The Saints could present a clearer path for him to find backup snaps behind Alvin Kamara, with Mark Ingram (knee) in danger to miss the rest of the season. Benjamin's threats for work behind Kamara are veteran David Johnson and Dwayne Washington, whom the Saints likely prefer to keep in a special-teams role.
