The New Orleans Saints waived wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner as part of ongoing roster moves ahead of the season. Rechsteiner, a Jacksonville State product and son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner, signed with the team as an undrafted free agent. He initially drew attention during rookie minicamp and earned notice for his blocking ability during training camp practices. The receiver was previously suspended for six games due to a violation of the NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs related to tampering with a test result. Under his current status, he is eligible to return to the league on October 19, following the Saints' game against the New York Giants. The team will now determine if Rechsteiner remains a candidate for a spot on the practice squad later this season.
