NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints have moved versatile quarterback Taysom Hill and tight end Foster Moreau from the club’s Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to the active roster ahead of Sunday’s home game against the New York Giants.
The roster moves, announced Saturday, increase the likelihood that both players—who are coming off major knee injuries sustained late last season—could make their 2025 debuts for the winless Saints (0-4) against the Giants (1-3).
Hill, who was listed as a tight end for the past two seasons, had his designation changed last week back to quarterback, the position at which he began his NFL career as a backup in 2017 after starting at that spot in college for BYU. However, Saints first-year coach Kellen Moore has indicated that Hill will continue to have a versatile role on offense and special teams, as he has in the past. Hill could be utilized in various roles including tight end, running back, receiver, and will regularly participate on punt and punt coverage teams.
Spencer Rattler, who has lost all 10 of his career NFL starts—including six last season as a rookie—will remain the starting quarterback.
Moreau, who was injured late in the fourth quarter of the Saints’ 2024 regular-season finale, had 32 catches for 413 yards and a team-high five touchdown receptions last season.
In other roster moves, the Saints elevated linebacker Eku Leota from the practice squad to the active roster, placed wide receiver Trey Palmer on injured reserve, and waived rookie tight end Moliki Matavao. Additionally, New Orleans downgraded defensive tackle John Ridgeway III to out for Sunday’s game.
