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

Their recoveries put experienced options back in the lineup to boost an offense seeking traction.

Overview

  • New Orleans moved both veterans from reserve/PUP to the active roster on Saturday, and reports say each is expected to play Sunday at the Caesars Superdome.
  • Hill is expected to serve as the backup quarterback behind Spencer Rattler, pushing rookie Tyler Shough to the No. 3 role, per NOLA.com.
  • Hill makes his first 2025 appearance after last year’s ACL and posterolateral corner damage, while Moreau returns from a late‑2024 ACL tear.
  • Their availability restores tight end depth after Juwan Johnson handled about 94% of early‑season snaps and led the 0‑4 Saints in receiving yards.
  • Corresponding moves included Trey Palmer to injured reserve, Moliki Matavao waived, and Eku Leota elevated; guard Cesar Ruiz is out but avoided IR, and DT John Ridgeway III was downgraded to out.
