New Orleans will add its greatest quarterback to the Superdome's Ring of Honor on Sunday, two months after his first-ballot enshrinement in Canton. He also receives his Hall of Fame ring during the ceremony.
New Orleans also called up receiver Cedric Tillman and tackle Easton Kilty from the practice squad for Sunday's home game against Minnesota.
Atlanta will play Sunday night without its veteran edge rusher, who has concussion and neck injuries, and lost a linebacker to injured reserve on the eve of Baltimore's visit.
