News
- The Saints signed Welch to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
With Audric Estime (thigh) moved to IR in a surprise move, the Saints gained an open spot on the 53-man roster. Welch will be the No. 3 tight end due to Oscar Delp (hamstring) being ruled out and will likely participate almost exclusively on special teams and in 13-personnel sets, if he plays at all in the team's Week 1 matchup with the Lions.
RotoWire via ESPN - The Saints signed Welch to the practice squad Wednesday.
Welch made the Saints' initial 53-man roster Sunday but was waived on Monday to make room for additions off waivers. The tight end cleared waivers himself before returning to the team on the practice squad. The tight end was elevated from the practice squad for two games last year and signed with the 53-man roster for a third in early January. Welch played 37 total snaps over the contests and will likely play a similar role for the Saints in 2026.
RotoWire via ESPN - New Orleans waived Welch on Monday.
Welch initially made the Saints' 53-man roster, but he and wideout Kevin Austin were cut Monday to make room for a pair of waiver claims. Welch appeared in three games for New Orleans last season and didn't get any targets or touches. He's likely to end up on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.
