Saints hire Carney as kicking consultant (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Two days after waiving veteran kicker John Carney, the Saints have brought him back as a kicking consultant. Saints coach Sean Payton announced the move after Thursday's practice. Payton says the 45-year-old Carney's knowledge of the game from his 21-years of playing experience will be invaluable to second-year place kicker Garrett Hartley.
