Getting a look at Eno Benjamin is a good opportunity over these next four games. The running back has unique skills. In 10 games w/ Arizona this year, he averaged 4.3 yards per carry and 7.7 yards per catch.

Lovie Smith on cutting Eno Benjamin: 'We just thought we needed to go in a different direction, we'll leave it at that. Sometimes, divorce is a good thing.'

Underhill said Benjamin was cut by the Cardinals in November after he complained about reduced playing time when James Conner returned from his injury.
From Weeks 6-7, Benjamin had 37 carries and functioned as the team's lead running back. Three weeks later, he was released. He was then claimed off waivers by the Texans and, two weeks later, was again released.
The twenty-three-year-old has now been claimed by the New Orleans Saints and should function as the team's No. 2 running back after Mark Ingram suffered a season-ending injury. That is, if he can behave himself.
