Two Practice Squad Moves by the Saints
The New Orleans Saints said that they have released tight end Mason Fairchild in line with the signing of tight end Treyton Welch to the practice squad.
Currently on New Orleans’ practice squad are:
- SÂ Johnathan Abram
- SÂ Ugo Amadi
- WR Kevin Austin Jr.
- S Millard Bradford
- T Josiah Ezirim
- G Kyle Hergel
- LBÂ Khaleke Hudson
- TE Michael Jacobson
- RB Jacob Kibodi
- DEÂ Niko Lalos
- G/CÂ Shane Lemieux
- K Charlie Smyth
- LB Isaiah Stalbird
- WRÂ Equanimeous St. Brown
- DTÂ Kendal Vickers
- TE Treyton Welch
According to Nick Underhill, the Saints also dismissed running back Kene Nwangwu due to a failed physical designation. It happens the day after the Vikings claimed it off waivers.
In May of last year, Welch, now 23 years old, joined the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming. But after the preseason, he was one of Cleveland’s last roster cuts.
Welch caught 77 passes for 874 yards (11.4 YPC) and nine touchdowns in his collegiate career.
