Saints Place Multiple Players on Injury Lists, Adjust Roster for 2025 Season

The New Orleans Saints have finalized their 53-man roster for the 2025 NFL season while managing several key injuries through short-term injury lists and injured reserve designations. Tight ends Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill, both recovering from knee injuries suffered last season, have been placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, requiring them to miss at least the first four games but allowing them to return later in the season. Defensive lineman John Ridgeway and offensive tackle Barry Wesley were placed on injured reserve with designations to return during the season, while offensive tackle Landon Young was placed on injured reserve without a return designation after undergoing ankle surgery, representing a significant blow to the Saints' offensive line depth. To bolster their roster, the Saints claimed wide receiver Trey Palmer and offensive guard Xavier Truss off waivers, with Palmer expected to strengthen the team's receiving corps after a disappointing second season with the Buccaneers. These moves reflect the Saints' efforts to maintain competitiveness despite injuries and roster challenges as they prepare for the upcoming season. Head coach Kellen Moore has emphasized a pragmatic approach to managing these injuries and roster adjustments.
