Saints Activate Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau Ahead of Week 5 vs. Giants

Hill slots in as Spencer Rattler’s backup, signaling a versatility-driven approach to Sunday’s roster.

Overview

  • New Orleans moved Hill and Moreau from the reserve/PUP list to the active roster, setting up their 2025 debuts after late-2024 knee injuries.
  • Reporting indicates Hill will serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Rattler, with rookie Tyler Shough shifting to the emergency third spot.
  • Head coach Kellen Moore indicated Hill will continue in multiple roles on offense and special teams beyond his quarterback duties.
  • The Saints placed wide receiver Trey Palmer on injured reserve with an ankle injury sustained in practice and waived tight end Moliki Matavao.
  • Linebacker Eku Leota was elevated from the practice squad for game day, and defensive tackle John Ridgeway III was downgraded to out.
