Saints waive a running back, send veteran DB to IR ahead of Week 5 vs Seahawks

The Saints have made a handful of roster moves ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Seahawks, which include a pair of moves that send two familiar names off the active roster.

Running back Tony Jones Jr. has been waived, and CB/S P.J. Williams has been sent to injured reserve with a quad injury. The news was first reported by ESPN's Field Yates.


Jones has been a healthy scratch each of the past two weeks, and would seem a likely candidate to return on the practice squad. Williams could potentially return as early as Week 9 if healthy enough to do so.

The Saints also activated DT Malcolm Roach from IR, the first player to return from the list since the start of the season, and elevated CB Chris Harris and WR Keith Kirkwood from the practice squad for the game.

It's possible Harris sees action at slot corner or even safety with the Saints missing multiple hands at those positions. The practice squad has come into the spotlight this week with Latavius Murray being signed by the Broncos after a standout performance against the Vikings in London.
