Saints activate receiver Jordyn Tyson and left tackle Kelvin Banks, cut running back Kendre Miller
New Orleans Saints bolster roster by activating Jordyn Tyson and Kelvin Banks
The New Orleans Saints have made several roster moves to prepare for the upcoming season. Receiver Jordyn Tyson, the team's 2026 first-round draft choice, will make his NFL debut as early as Sunday against the Cleveland Browns after being activated from injured reserve. Tyson, drafted eighth overall out of Arizona State, had been sidelined with a hamstring injury throughout training camp.
In addition, left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. was also placed on the active roster following his recovery from an ankle injury sustained during a Week 2 victory at Baltimore. Banks, the team's second-round draft pick in 2023, had not played since that game.
The Saints also made cuts to their roster, releasing running back Kendre Miller and tight end Treyton Welch. Miller, who had played in six games this season with limited success, struggled with various injuries throughout his career. Welch, a tight end, was let go from the practice squad.
Running back Zamir White was promoted from the practice squad to replace the cut tight end. Despite the roster shake-ups, the Saints are optimistic about their upcoming season.
