Overview
- Tillman was waived by the Cleveland Browns during final roster cuts and was released on Aug. 27 before clearing waivers.
- The New Orleans Saints signed Tillman to their practice squad on Tuesday and issued him jersey No. 13 as immediate depth behind the 53‑man roster.
- Across three seasons with the Browns (2023–25) Tillman caught 71 passes for 833 yards and five touchdowns while dealing with injuries and inconsistent target volume.
- Saints coaches added Tillman in response to roster moves that left only four wide receivers on the active roster and the loss of Bub Means to Cleveland’s practice squad.
- Tillman’s longer-term role will hinge on his practice performance and the health of the Saints’ receiver group because practice‑squad players can be elevated for gamedays but are not guaranteed a roster spot.
