Saints waive Keeshawn Silver from IR with injury settlement

The New Orleans Saints waived defensive tackle Keeshawn Silver from injured reserve with an injury settlement on August 17. This decision allows Silver to become a free agent, enabling him to pursue opportunities with other teams after his recovery. Silver's injury added to the challenges facing the Saints’ defensive line, which has seen several players sidelined this summer, including Bryan Bresee and Dillon Radunz. The Saints are currently adjusting their roster in preparation for the upcoming regular season, and Silver's departure contributes to those changes.
