Saints Make Three Practice Squad Moves For Week 8

The New Orleans Saints made three practice squad moves on Tuesday for Week 8. 

The full list includes:

• Saints signed G Tommy Kraemer to their practice squad.
• Saints released TE J.P. Holtz from their practice squad.
• Saints activated LB Ryan Connelly from the practice squad injured list. 

Connelly, 28, was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round out of Wisconsin in the 2019 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $2.9 million and will make a base salary of $585,000 for the 2020 season. 

The Giants somewhat opted to waive Connelly in 2020 and he was later claimed by the Vikings. Minnesota waived him last year and he later caught on with the Saints. 

In 2023, Connelly has appeared in one game for the Saints.
