According to Amie Just, the Saints activated TE Nick Vannett from their injured reserve and placed DE Payton Turner on the reserve list in a corresponding move.
Vannett was designated to return in recent weeks.
Vannett, 28, is a former third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Seahawks out of Ohio State. He was in the final year of his four-year, $3,056,880 rookie contract when Seattle traded him to the Steelers a few years ago.
Vannett finished out his contract before agreeing to a two-year, $5.7 million contract with the Broncos last year. Denver released him back in March and he signed a three-year deal with the Saints.
In 2020, Vannett appeared in 15 games for the Broncos and caught 14 passes for 95 yards receiving and a touchdown.
