Saints' Jake Haener: Added back to roster
Rotowire
The Saints signed Haener off their practice squad Tuesday.
After falling behind Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough in the competition for the Saints' starting quarterback job during the preseason, Haener was cut last week, but he ended up sticking in the organization upon clearing waivers. He didn't have to wait long to land back on the 53-man roster, as the Saints had a spot available for him after releasing safety J.T. Gray on Monday. Haener will still slot in third on the depth chart at quarterback and is likely to remain inactive most weeks while both Rattler and Shough are available.
The Saints signed Haener to the practice squad Wednesday,Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Haener lost his roster spot Tuesday after beginning the preseason in a competition to be the Saints' starter. New Orleans currently has only Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough on its active roster, so Haener may be elevated for game days.
New Orleans waived Haener on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Haener, a 2023 fourth-round pick, entered training camp in competition with Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough for the Week 1 starting gig, but he quickly became solidified as the No. 3 option on the depth chart. He'll likely resurface on the practice squad and serve as the Saints' emergency third-string quarterback, assuming he clears waivers.
