Kevin Rader: Dropped by Saints
The Saints released Rader (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Rader was set to miss all of the 2024 season after landing on IR with an undisclosed injury in late August, but the Youngstown State product reached an injury settlement with the Saints on Monday that allows him to sign elsewhere once he's fully recovered from his injury.

Saints' Kevin Rader: Placed on IR
Rader (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Saints on Tuesday.
Rader is now set to miss the entirety of the 2024 season while nursing an undisclosed injury that he suffered during the preseason. If the tight end reaches an injury settlement with New Orleans, he'll be free to sign and play elsewhere. Otherwise, he'll now shift his focus to being ready to go for 2025.

Saints' Kevin Rader: Getting deal from New Orleans
The Saints are set to sign Rader, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Rader played in 14 regular-season games with Tennessee last season, logging one catch (on three targets) for six yards over 140 offensive snaps. The tight end out of Youngstown State also logged 219 snaps on special teams. Rader will compete for a depth role with the Saints among a tight-end group that is headed by Juwan Johnson (foot), Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau. New Orleans also signed Mason Fairchild -- another tight end -- on Friday.

Titans' Kevin Rader: Active for season finale
Rader (hip) is not among Tennessee's inactives for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Jacksonville.
Rader was questionable coming into Sunday due to a hip injury, but his outlook was optimistic after he logged a full practice session Friday. The fourth-year tight end will indeed be able to suit up in Tennessee's final game of the 2023 campaign, though he's unlikely to make much of an impact on offense. Rader has drawn only one target, which he caught for a six-yard gain, through 13 contests this season.

Rader has played in 10 of the Titans' 13 games to date but has yet to draw a target. The 28-year-old depth tight end continues to bring most of his value to the Titans through his contributions on special teams.

Titans' Kevin Rader: Joins active roster
Rader signed with the Titans' active roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Rader was elevated from the team's practice squad for Sunday's game against the Bengals, seeing nine snaps on offense, but didn't see a target. His official move to the active roster comes as fellow tight end Josh Whyle continues to deal with an ankle injury.

Kevin Rader: Heads back to practice squad
Rader reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.
Rader was able to get some additional snaps -- nine offensive and 13 on special teams -- when Josh Whyle was ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Bengals with an ankle injury. If Whyle is unable to go for Week 5 against the Colts, Rader would have a good chance of being elevated for the second time this season.
