Welch reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Welch was elevated to the active roster ahead Week 3, failing to record any stats while playing four snaps on offense and eight snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 44-13 loss to Seattle. The tight end is eligible to be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Multiple Browns tight ends are now dealing with injuries, including presumptive starter David Njoku (undisclosed) and Zaire Mitchell-Paden (undisclosed). It therefore wouldn't be surprising to see Welch get extended playing time during their preseason finale at Seattle on Saturday.
