Saints 53-Man Roster 2021
The New Orleans Saints have set their initial 53-man roster for the 2021 NFL season. The final roster cutdown was reported to the league before 4 PM ET Tuesday
Hurricane Ida's category 4 winds and rain ravaged the Gulf Coast region and forced the Saints to move the team operations to Dallas, TX.
New Orleans was scheduled to open their regular season against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Sept. 12 at newly named Caesars Superdome. Sean Payton confirmed the team will not play in New Orleans for at least one month. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offered AT&T Stadium as a site to host the Week 1 contest between the Saints and Packers.
ROSTER CUTS
Those already difficult circumstances made roster decisions tougher for New Orleans, who still made lodging or transportation arrangements for the players released.
The Saints will make several more roster moves in the coming days, which will include the practice squad. Here is the initial 53-man roster for the New Orleans Saints.
