Saints make two roster moves on Wednesday.

Punter Blake Gillikin was placed on IR and Defensive End Marcus Willoughby was signed to the practice squad.

Blake Gillikin was the surprise player to make the Saints initial 53 man roster. He missed practice on Wednesday with a back injury and has since been placed on IR.

Agreed to terms, 4/27/20. Gillikin is tied for No. 2 on Penn State’s career punting average charts (43.03 avg.). He landed 53 career punts downed inside the opponent’s ten-yard line (seven in 2016, 18 in 2017, 12 in 2018, 15 in 2019) and is the only player in program history with seven punts of 65 or more yards.
