Saints make changes to practice squad

The New Orleans Saints are continuing to make changes to their roster at running back as the regular season fast approaches. Saints head coach Dennis Allen announced multiple roster moves for their practice squad on Thursday.

Allen said, “We added a couple of runners to the practice squad, and we released a couple of players from the practice squad.”

As the regular season is soon to be begin, the Saints had to make some key changes to prepare. Allen confirmed that rookie running back Ellis Merriweather and veteran linebacker Ty Summers were both waived.

While Alvin Kamara is serving a 3-game suspension, there are a few hiccups with Kirk Merritt coming off an injury and Kendre Miller’s hamstring issue.
