The New Orleans Saints have activated quarterback Taysom Hill and tight end Foster Moreau from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. This decision allows both players to potentially participate in the upcoming game against the New York Giants.
Player Recovery and Impact
Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau are making their return after recovering from significant knee injuries sustained last season. They each played a crucial role in the Saints’ offense, combining for 11 touchdowns in the previous season.
- Taysom Hill: Injured on December 1, 2024, against the Los Angeles Rams.
- Foster Moreau: Injured during the final game of the previous season on January 5, 2025.
Roster Changes
To make room for Hill and Moreau on the roster, the Saints waived tight end Moliki Matavao. Additionally, wide receiver Trey Palmer was placed on injured reserve. These adjustments ensure that the team remains compliant with roster limits as they prepare for their next match.
Hill’s Journey Back
Taysom Hill shared insights about his recovery process, which felt uncertain at times due to the severity of his injury. The Saints renegotiated his contract, including a significant portion of his salary tied to per-game roster bonuses.
“I felt all the emotions over the last nine, ten months. So to be standing here right now and being able to be out at practice with my teammates … it’s an emotional thing, it’s one where you’re filled with gratitude,” Hill expressed, reflecting on his long journey back to the field.
