Saints Promote Veteran TE Jack Stoll to Active Roster

The New Orleans Saints have signed veteran tight end Jack Stoll to their 53-man roster, promoting him from the practice squad to fill the blocking tight end role left vacant due to Foster Moreau's recovery from knee surgery. Stoll, a 27-year-old with prior experience playing for the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins, has been valued for his run-blocking skills and special teams contributions, having logged significant offensive snaps in recent games despite limited receiving production. This move is part of the Saints' fluid roster strategy early in the season, as head coach Kellen Moore emphasized continued roster adjustments to address team needs. Meanwhile, the Saints suffered a major setback with starting safety Julian Blackmon potentially out for the season due to a torn labrum, which may require surgery. This injury has increased speculation that the Saints might pursue free agent safety Justin Simmons, a four-time All-Pro, who remains unsigned and could help bolster their secondary. The team's roster moves reflect efforts to balance offensive depth and address defensive vulnerabilities as the season progresses.
