New Orleans Saints release veteran edge rusher Jonah Williams from practice squad

The New Orleans Saints released veteran edge rusher Jonah Williams on Wednesday, just days after adding him to the practice squad. Williams had recently worked out for the team and rejoined the club after spending training camp with the Arizona Cardinals. The move coincides with the Saints signing wide receiver Kyrese Rowan to the organization. This roster adjustment follows a brief tenure for the 31-year-old, who appeared in 15 games for New Orleans during the 2025 season. The team continues to manage the health of Cameron Jordan, who has been sidelined by a hamstring injury since early August. The Saints open their regular season against the Detroit Lions this Sunday, though the release of Williams leaves the club's defensive depth chart in a state of flux as they finalize preparations.
