METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints are bringing in veteran kickers Nick Novak and Caleb Sturgis, among possible others, for tryouts on Tuesday, according to sources.

It sounds like the team isn’t necessarily committed to replacing young kicker Zach Hocker. But the Saints want to at least update their ready list -- especially with some more experienced veterans entering the free-agent pool after being released this past weekend.

I wrote about Novak on Monday night after CBS first reported his upcoming workout. The 34-year-old was one of the NFL’s most accurate kickers during his past three seasons with the San Diego Chargers.

Sturgis, 26, spent the past two years with the Miami Dolphins, making 55 of 71 field-goal attempts (77.5 percent). Sturgis made both of his field-goal attempts in the preseason, but the Dolphins elected to go with undrafted rookie Andrew Franks instead.
