New Orleans Saints safety Julian Blackmon signed a one-year contract with the team Tuesday.

Financial terms were not disclosed for Blackmon, whose first campaign with the team was cut short by a torn labrum in the season opener.

Blackmon signed a one-year contract as a free agent with New Orleans on July 23, one day after the team lost safety Tyrann Mathieu to retirement.

Blackmon, 27, recorded seven tackles and one pass defended in the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals.

He has 10 career interceptions, 22 passes defended and 307 tackles in 67 games (63 starts) with the Indianapolis Colts (2020-24) and Saints.
