METAIRIE – The New Orleans Saints have released reserve quarterback Joey Harrington only five days after signing him, and have brought in tight end Sean Ryan to compensate for the loss of Jeremy Shockey to a sports hernia.Harrington could be brought back to New Orleans later this season, but the Saints could not afford to use a roster spot on a third-string quarterback in the short term because they are currently short-handed at other positions.In addition to losing Shockey for three to six weeks, offensive guard Jamar Nesbit has been suspended four games for violating the NFL’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.The Saints this week re-signed offensive lineman Matt Lehr to make up for the loss of Nesbit.
