REPORT: Saints trade to bring former RB Mark Ingram back to Black & Gold

NEW ORLEANS (WAFB) - The New Orleans Saints are apparently trading to bring a former player back to the Big Easy to help out in the running game: Mark Ingram

Reunion: The #Saints are trading for old friend and current #Texans RB Mark Ingram, per me and @TomPelissero. He fills a big need, landing back in New Orleans to do so.

There is also a report that Ingram could hit the field on Sunday, Oct. 31, when the Saints host division rival, Tampa Bay, in the Ceasars Superdome.

Sean Payton said there is "absolutely" a "high chance" that Mark Ingram will play Sunday. He is expected to land today and practice Friday. Payton said Ingram's "little partner in crime" Alvin Kamara also pitched the idea of the trade after it was already in the works.

So far this season, Ingram has 92 carries for 294 yards and one touchdown.

He spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Saints before playing for the Ravens for two seasons. He is in his first season with the Texans.
