With just a week to go until NFL-mandated roster cuts on Sept. 5, the New Orleans Saints are embracing the spirit of competition for the final leg of training camp by shuffling the fringes of their depth chart. On Saturday, that meant a flurry of roster moves reported to the daily NFL transactions wire.
Several of these changes were expected, like the release of injured defensive lineman Jalen Dalton (waived with an injury designation; he’s likely to return to the injured reserve list). The Saints also made two official signings that reports suggested were in the works, announcing deals with CFL linebacker Wynton McManis and journeyman pass rusher Anthony Lanier.
