| Welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Thursday, Sept. 1. If Tuesday was hectic day for news on the Saints beat, Wednesday was the calm after the storm. Relatively speaking, it was a quiet day as the team held a light practice at the indoor facility and shuffled the bottom of the roster in preparation for the start of the regular season. Here's our coverage from Wednesday: - The Saints' 16-man practice squad is set, with a couple of new names on the roster. Beat reporter Terrin Waack has the story on all the transactions.
- Tight end Nick Vannett renegotiated his contract to help create more salary cap space for the team, Luke Johnson reports.
- Former Saints quarterback Ian Book, who the Saints released on Tuesday, found a new home with another NFC team, Patrick Magee reports.
- One of the Saints' starting cornerbacks remains sidelined by an ankle injury. Terrin Waack reports on the status of Paulson Adebo.
That's it for today. We'll have more coverage on Thursday as the Saints hold their final practice before taking the weekend off ahead of their regular season opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 11. Until next time, Jeff Duncan |
