NEW ORLEANS, La. (WLBT) - The New Orleans Saints announced on Tuesday afternoon their initial 53-man roster, and some cuts may come as a surprise.
This is not a finished product, as some players who made the cut Tuesday could get cut to make room for waiver claims and free agent signings later this week.
First, here is a look at the 53 members on the Saints’ roster after the roster cuts:
Quarterbacks
Spencer Rattler
Tyler Shough (rookie)
Running Backs
Alvin Kamara
Kendre Miller
Velus Jones Jr.
Devin Neal (rookie)
Tight Ends
Juwan Johnson
Jack Stoll
Moliki Matavao (rookie)
Tight ends Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill will start the season on the physically unable to perform list (PUP). They won’t count against the 53-man roster limit until they’ve been activated.
