The Saints tried out four punters and have decided on former Dolphins punter Brandon Fields as their temporary replacement.
Alex Marvez of FOX Sports reported that the Saints are signing Fields because they expect injured punter Thomas Morstead to miss a game or two with a strained quad.
Kicker Zach Hocker served as the emergency punter in last Sunday’s win over the Cowboys after Morstead’s injury. Marvez also reported the Saints will take a look at other kickers this week after Hocker missed a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter against the Cowboys.
Fields, 31, was replaced by the Dolphins in training camp after seven seasons with the team. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2013.
