Saints release Jermon Bushrod, bring back J.T. Barrett to practice squad

The New Orleans Saints made a couple of moves on Saturday. Their first came by elevating running back Jonathan Williams from the practice squad, which left a cut to be made on the active roster. Per The Advocate’s Nick Underhill, it’s veteran offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod.

The writing seemed to be on the wall for Bushrod, who had a nice feel-good story reuniting with the team that drafted him in 2007. Bushrod initially made the final roster, but New Orleans ended up adding offensive linemen Josh LeRibeus and Michael Ola to the fold, and Bushrod was listed on the team’s injury report with a non-injury related designation.
