Free-agent linebacker Ramon Humber has been suspended for the first three games of the 2012 regular season, a source with knowledge of the situation told Aaron Wilson of Scout.com on Thursday.
The reason for Humber's suspension was not disclosed.
Originally signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent out of North Dakota State in 2009, Humber led the Colts in special teams tackles (14) as a rookie and recorded 34 total tackles in 18 games before he was waived after suffering a hand injury early in the 2010 season. The Saints scooped Humber up in December and he had 21 tackles plus his first career sack in 13 games in 2011. He started three games that season.
Slated to be a restricted free agent this offseason, the Saints did not extend a qualifying offer to Humber.
