So that’s not ideal. The New Orleans Saints filed a flurry of roster moves with the daily NFL transactions wire ahead of Tuesday’s deadline to trim down from 90 contracts to 85, but their biggest loss is kicker Brett Maher.
Maher was signed a week ago following core muscle surgery for Wil Lutz, but he’s now going to be out of action after being waived with an injury designation. He’ll be reverting to injured reserve. Lutz is still recovering so look for more tryouts to fly in to New Orleans soon.
Additionally, the Saints made official the previously-reported releases of veteran defenders Noah Spence and Prince Amukamara.
