New Orleans Saints 53-man roster: Updated live - Saints Wire
From USA Today via USVI News: Here's where the New Orleans Saints' 53-man roster currently stands. We'll be updating our list as more cuts and roster moves are reported.
With three preseason games behind them, the New Orleans Saints are actively working to assemble their 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season. It's important to remember that this is just the initial look at the team; waiver claims, free agent signings, injury decisions, and more factors will change the makeup between now and Sept. 13.
New Orleans went into the weekend with 91 players on their roster, but they had to reduce that group by 5 p.m. CT Sunday afternoon (Aug. 30) to just 53 names. Check in on our live tracker for all of the Saints' roster moves right here. We also updated the live roster on this page. Here's where things currently stand with the initial l53-man roster, but we can't emphasize this enough: it's going to change by the time the season starts.
