The New Orleans Saints made roster moves ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Saints elevated offensive lineman John Fullington from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster and waived tight end John Phillips in a corresponding move, according to Friday's NFL Transactions report.
The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Fullington spent the past two seasons on the Saints practice squad, but he made a case for the active roster after a strong training camp where he flashed versatility to play tackle and guard.
New Orleans waived Fullington on Sept. 2 as part of the final personnel moves to establish the initial 53-man roster, but immediately signed him to the practice squad after he cleared waivers.
