Morgan Reinstated Rejoining Saints

A few weeks ago we reported that Dan Morgan was interested in coming out of retirement, it's official Morgan has been reinstated.

Morgan, who has had a history with concussions, dating back to his college days, also partially tore his achilles' tender, both led to his decision to retire, but with a year off the former Hirricane feels ready to give it another shot.

On Friday, the 30-year-old Morgan said he'll rejoin the Saints for offseason workouts next month. He'll have the same incentive-laden, one-year deal he signed last spring, following his release from the Carolina Panthers.

"I know what everybody thinks on the outside. They think I'm crazy for coming back," Morgan told The Associated Press by phone from his home in Charlotte. "You read the things that people say. Everybody's got their opinions and they're entitled to that. But my family is behind me, my friends are behind me. That's really all that matters. I know where I stand with my health. I feel good concussion-wise. I feel good Achilles'-wise. I'm ready to come back and play and I'm not worried about it at all."
