New Orleans waived Alford (undisclosed) off injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Alford was waived/injured due to an undisclosed issue in mid-June. He subsequently reverted to IR, meaning he was slated to miss the 2026 season, but New Orleans has moved on from him for now. As such, Alford will be free to sign with another club and suit up during the coming campaign if he's able to return to health.

Alford (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Saints on Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
The 25-year-old wideout signed with the Saints in early January after recording 407 receiving yards and five touchdowns with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL in 2025. However, he's now dealing with an injury, and New Orleans has decided to move in another direction. If Alford clears waivers, he'll revert to the Saints' injured reserve list.
