Saints declared WR Mason Tipton, QB Spencer Rattler, RB Jordan Mims, LB Jaylan Ford and DT Khristian Boyd inactive for Week 14 against the Giants.
No surprises for a Saints team that is not close to healthy, but simply has all of its injured players on I.R. 24-year-old UDFA Tipton is going to be in a fight for roster survival next summer.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Saints head coach Kellen Moore explained away “trade chatter” regarding Chris Olave by saying, “people want good players.”
ESPN’s Mike Reiss did not list Patriots WR Ja’Lynn Polk (shoulder) as a lock to make the roster and believes he could be a candidate for the physically unable to perform list to open training camp.
The Athletic’s Zac Jackson reports “locked-in starter” WR Cedric Tillman is sidelined at Browns mandatory minicamp with what is “believed to be” a “minor” injury.
