New Orleans Saints waive two players with injury settlements

The New Orleans Saints released two players via injury settlements on September 4, 2026. The roster moves occur as the organization continues to evaluate personnel ahead of the regular season. As part of these changes, the team is also assessing the role of tight end Stone Smartt, who joined the roster recently. Analysts are monitoring whether Smartt can secure a spot as the team's fourth tight end on the active roster. While offense has been a focal point of recent discourse surrounding the team, Ian Rapoport noted that the New Orleans defense showed significant progress during the latter stages of the preseason. These transactions reflect ongoing adjustments to the roster as the club prepares for upcoming competition.
