hey it's hunt you found hunt on Saints we're talking black and gold football do us a favor hit the like button share your comments below and hit that subscription button so you can get all of our content enjoy uh biggest news probably I think name-wise the Saints um signed Kenny wangu uh who was an all pro returner with the Vikings uh back in 20202 he's got three kick return touchdowns in his career in the NFL in three seasons um he's a running back by trade didn't get a chance to do a lot of that with Minnesota um but he's an explosive playmaker and a guy that the Saints are going to bring in it's just a 26-year-old to add some depth to that running back room so I think that's a good ad for the Saints trying to get some more Playmakers uh in in at the running back spot because it's been kind of so disheveled and disorganized and injured throughout all of training camps so K Wang wo is a good ad there for the Saints the rest of the practice squad I see 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 so I'm a couple names short here on the practice squad trying to take notes as I can while we're on the air and these uh are happening but uh some of the bigger names the Saints have signed back to the practice squad Jonathan Abram the safety who was a starter last year for the New Orleans Saints has been brought back on the practice squad it's pretty likely he's going to be elevated pretty quickly um that's a guy they're going to they're going to get to the field at some point whether it's injury related or just because he's good enough to be on the active roster um Ugo miti has been brought back uh I thought the best story probably was Jacob kabot being brought back on the practice squad we know he had a monster game in on Sunday he's a Baton Rouge guy from right here Christian Life played at Louisiana Lafayette had a great preseason finale um that's another guy running back that they're going to get into the mix and and could be available for them uh in a pinch if they need him draft pick Josiah aerum out ofensive tackle been brought back on the practice squad Shane Lemieux also on the offensive line one of the guys that we thought might make the 53 that didn't was a little bit of surpris yesterday was Kyle hgle he's an offensive guard he's going to be brought back on the practice squad as well Shamar John Charles at cornerback eamin St Brown at wide receiver the Saints did not lose anyone to waivers now you can take that any way that you'd like um you can suggest that the Saints didn't have anybody good enough for anybody to be to claim them off waiters or that the saints were fortunate to get guys through waivers um but any any way this is starting to tape shape as the uh as the practice squad Charlie Smith the name did not mention uh Charlie Smith did make the practice squad for the New Orleans Saints they want to kind of keep him around it's just a very intriguing Prospect Charlie Smith is like the the 19-year-old 66 right-hander that throws 100 miles an hour like he can't throw it over the plate at times and he doesn't really throw a slider at this point but he just throws really hard and you feel like there's something you can develop within him it's the same thing with Charlie Smith kicking you know back in the open practice at yolman Stadium he kicked a 65 yard field field goal there's aren't a lot of guys that can kick 65 yard field goals and Charlie Smith is one of them now you look at the kicking situation and you feel like bre Blake group's got that under control but you never know one you can lose it at any point and two you can get hurt uh so having Charlie Smith around is is a good deal and it's a good story he he comes from that overseas program that the uh NFL is trying to implement Saints gave him a shot and he's earned an opportunity to come in and continue with the team continue to work continue to develop and potentially to help the Saints at some point moving forward in the future so of the guys that I think that could make an impact on this team um probably would take an injury or potentially a move here there but Jonathan Abram for sure um I think Kyle hgle for sure ecenia St Brown for sure and you go amatti for sure at this point I can't promise you I've got a comprehensive list of the Saints practice squad again this is fluid and it's happening throughout the day while we're on the air I'm trying to make notes as we go through segments and and do things but um the the good news for the Saints is they did not lose anyone to waivers that they were hoping to kind of use the term sneak through waivers they didn't have to do that with anyone the one guy that you thought you know potentially uh could be a a a casual there they ended up keeping on the the roster was Mason Tipton that's a guy who um was fantastic early in Camp got hurt but the Saints paid him a good bit there was a some real competition in the market for Tipton to to get him into camp and the Saints won that competition got him in he showed what he could do he's got some similar traits to Shahed and alive and these a little bit under size he runs really well and is Shifty and that's kind of what they do um but the Saints didn't have to go that route of putting him through waivers in the practice squad to get him back uh they just have him on that on that roster so uh this is a fluid situation as we know that that that cut down day does not indicate that that's exactly the unit that you're going to take onto the field against Carolina any of the guys that I mentioned should there be an injury over the next 10 days would be in line to go out there and and play um some of this is developmental some of this is depth like I think jiah zerum just a guy they liked in the draft process they liked his size they liked his traits but he's kind of a project he comes from a smaller School you come into Camp you have your good days have your not so good days and he's probably not ready to help the big roster but they like some of the things that he can do so you keep him on the practice squad you continue to develop him and you hope that eventually he molds into a really quality player um I think probably the same goes for for he and Charlie Smith in that way so if you're looking for the saints that are going to be on on the practice quad you're looking for all your Saints coverage you
