In a move foreshadowed earlier in the week, the Saints have brought back a key member of their offensive line.
As we enter the final stretch of the regular season, New Orleans is making preparations.
The Saints put out their final injury report for the week on Saturday, as we got one last look at them before the game against the Ravens. Three players were ruled out of action, as the team is relatively healthy going into Monday Night Football.
The Saints put out their second injury report of the week ahead of their imporatnt Monday Night Football matchup at home against the Ravens. There's only one change from Thursday, as Chase Hansen was downgraded.
The Saints made two moves on Tuesday, according to the NFL Transaction Report. The team is promoting linebacker Chase Hansen to the active roster, and is signing quarterback Jake Luton to the practice squad. New Orleans had an open roster spot, and Hansen is someone who will fit in on special teams if called upon.
Preseason game one standout reminds the team of his value. With so many new and young faces on the New Orleans Saints defense, one name that may not come to mind is Chase Hansen, the 29-year-old linebacker out of Utah.
Players who have increased, decreased, or not changed their chances at making the roster this preseason. With the Saints’ first preseason game in the rearview mirror, we now get a chance to delve into some fringe roster players and assess their status during roster cutdowns.
Injuries have piled up early on in training camp so the New Orleans Saints had no choice but to sign some replacements, even if they’re only temporary replacements. The New Orleans Saints have been in backup linebacker purgatory over the past week and they recently added former Saint Chase Hansen to the roster.
According to Nick Underhill, the Saints are signing LB Chase Hansen to the roster. Hansen was with the Saints before, which makes this the second time New Orleans has tried to turn to a familiar face for depth at linebacker.
While the NFL is on Odell Beckham Jr. watch, which is surely going to include the Saints in that mix, there's some news to pass along on Tuesday afternoon.
On May 14, the NFL and NFLPA held “Beyond The Physical: A Symposium on Mental Health in Sports." The organizations promoted the event in Mental Health Awareness Month as an "ongoing effort to promote player health and wellness." New Orleans linebacker Chase Hansen posted a video regarding the importance of mental health awareness.
