A records check revealed that Morgan did not have a valid driver's license, the report said. Morgan was booked Saturday at the Gretna jail. He was released the same day on a $1,150 bond. Saints spokesman Greg Bensel declined to comment when asked about Morgan's arrest Tuesday. Morgan didn't respond to a request for a comment. ... Morgan entered this offseason as the team's No. 3 receiver. The speedy wide receiver hauled in 10 passes for 379 yards and three touchdowns in 2012 with seven of his 10 receptions gaining 30 or more yards. Morgan was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2011, but he landed on injured reserve during that preseason.
