The initial New Orleans Saints practice squad was largely filled with familiar faces: recent undrafted rookies, still-progressing draft picks, and holdovers from last season. But the Saints did bring in two new names (details beneath the full list), announced in a release on the team website:
DE Alex Jenkins (through International Pathway exemption)
DT Woodrow Hamilton IV
LB Vince Biegel (via Green Bay Packers)
OL Nate Wozniak
OL Rick Leonard
QB J.T. Barrett
RB Dwayne Washington (via Detroit Lions)
RB Jonathan Williams
TE Deon Yelder
TE Garrett Griffin
WR Keith Kirkwood
Linebacker Vince Biegel was a fourth round selection out of the Wisconsin Badgers program by Green Bay in the 2017 NFL Draft.
