Saints Make 19 Roster Moves For Monday Night’s Game

The New Orleans Saints announced several roster moves Monday ahead of their game against the Dolphins.

The full list includes:

• Saints signed DT Braxton Hoyett, LB Justin March-Lillard, T Kyle Murphy and DT Ethan Westbrooks to their practice squad.
• Saints elevated QB Blake Bortles, WR Easop Winston Jr., DB Bryce Thompson, DB Jordan Miller, LB Chase Hansen, DT Braxton Hoyett, LB Justin March-Lillard, LB Sharif Finch, G/C Will Clapp, OL Forrest Lamp, OT Kyle Murphy, WR Kawaan Baker, TE Ethan Wolf and DT Ethan Westbrooks to their active roster.
• Saints placed LB Kwon Alexander on the COVID-19 list.

Alexander, 26, is a former fourth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2015. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,758,320 contract before agreeing to a four-year contract worth $54 million with the 49ers in 2019. 

He was traded to the Saints midseason in 2020 for LB Kiko Alonso and a conditional fifth-round pick. He tore his Achilles late in the season and was released back in March. 

Alexander returned to the Saints in August on a one-year contract worth up to $3 million.

In 2021, Kwon Alexander has appeared in 10 games for the Saints and recorded 39 tackles, three sacks, an interception and two pass deflections.
