Austin Jr. returns to Saints practice squad with path to active roster amid WR injuries.

Kevin Austin Jr. was waived from the Saints' initial 53-man roster but brought back to the practice squad after clearing waivers. The Notre Dame wideout has appeared in 16 total games with New Orleans (eight in both 2024 and 2025), accumulating 24 receptions for nearly 300 yards and one touchdown since entering the league. With the Saints carrying just four wideouts on the active roster and persistent injury issues throughout the offseason, Austin Jr. has a plausible path to see playing time this season.
