Saints Make Four Moves Including Designating CB Alontae Taylor To Return

The New Orleans Saints designated second-round CB Alontae Taylor to return from injured reserve on Tuesday, per the wire.

The Saints also signed QB Jake Luton and DE Jabari Zuniga to their practice squad and released DL Christian Ringo from the unit.

Taylor, 23, was originally a wide receiver before converting to cornerback during his time at Tennesee. He opted to sit out the 2021 Music City Bowl in preparation for the draft. The Saints used the No. 49 overall pick in the second round on him in the 2022 NFL Draft.

He signed a four-year $7,204,684 contract that includes a $2,419,770 signing bonus.

In 2022, Taylor has appeared in two games and recorded no tackles and one pass deflection.
