The question was could Ian Book do enough in the preseason to make the Saints consider keeping him as the team’s third quarterback. We figured the top two spots were locked in with Winston and Dalton.

Despite some surprises to the 53-man roster, what is done is done and we can now shift focus to this upcoming season. Now this roster isn’t set in stone as some things could still be tweaked and touched up, however most of the roster has been set since camp. Here’s hoping the young man lands on his feet.With the roster cutdown officially over, the New Orleans Saints have gone from 90 players at the start of the offseason, to the final 53 players that will see some game action this season. It’s unfortunate, but Jones has never seemed to recapture the big-play ability he flashed prior to a 2021 ankle injury. He was a healthy inactive the last two weeks and only saw two carries in his first two games, playing a bit part behind Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram II, Dwayne Washington, and briefly, Latavius Murray. Jones could return to the practice squad if he clears waivers, but the Saints may just be done with him altogether. Now he’s healthy and providing some depth in the secondary. The former Tennessee Volunteers cornerback cross-trained at safety for the Saints over the summer and was well-liked by the coaching staff prior to a training camp injury. It’s been a whirlwind of a week for Thompson, who tried out for the Saints on Tuesday, signed with their practice squad on Wednesday, practiced for a few days, and was signed to the 53-man roster on Saturday ahead of kickoff on Sunday. Rookie draft pick Alontae Taylor will be out a couple of more weeks due to an MCL injury.ĭB Bryce Thompson promoted to the 53-man roster He exited Week 4’s game with the Minnesota Vikings due to a quadriceps injury that kept him out of practice all week, and now he’ll be unavailable for at least four weeks. Williams had been starting in place of Marcus Maye, who has missed a few games with a rib injury, and he’s still a big “glue guy” even when everyone is healthy given his experience at every spot in the secondary. Like Harris, he’ll return to the practice squad after Week 5’s game. With Michael Thomas ruled out due to a foot injury and Jarvis Landry nursing an ankle issue, Kirkwood could elbow his way into the rotation behind Chris Olave and Marquez Callaway on Sunday.
Kirkwood also returned recently, so it’s interesting to see him called up ahead of other receivers on the practice squad like Kirk Merritt, Rashid Shaheed, and Kevin White. WR Keith Kirkwood elevated from the practice squad Harris is a single-game activation and will revert to the practice squad after this Seahawks game. But he brings a lot of experience to the secondary and should be able to help bridge the gap until some other players can return from injuries. The veteran cornerback signed with the team just this week, so it’s a bit of a surprise to see him brought up so soon.
