Drops: Zamir White
The Saints will officially be without one of their key rookies for at least the season’s first four weeks. New Orleans placed Jodryn Tyson on injured reserve as part of their moves to reduce their roster to 53 players on Sunday. While Tyson has been designated to return, he will not be eligible to play until New Orleans’ Week 5 matchup with the Vikings. Tyson suffered a hamstring injury during a joint practice with the Jaguars earlier this month. While Tyson has a history of hamstring injuries, head coach Kellen Moore has said this one is unrelated to what he’s experienced in the past . The Saints selected Tyson at No. 8 overall in this year’s draft. For the rest of their transactions, the Saints released safety Terrell Burgess, cornerback Michael Davis, running back Zamir White, and cornerback Isaac Yiadom. New Orleans waived defensive lineman Myles Cole, receiver Jalen Cropper, edge rusher Fadil Diggs, running back CJ Donaldson, cornerback TJ Hall Jr., tight end Cody Hardy, offensive tackle Alan Herron, offensive tackle Easton Kilty, receiver Trey Palmer, guard Torricelli Simpkins III, linebacker Jackson Sirmon, kicker Charlie Smyth, defensive lineman Jay’Viar Suggs, and offensive tackle Alex Wollschlaeger. The Saints placed five players on injured reserve: cornerback Dalys Beanum, edge rusher Mike Heldman, cornerback David Long Jr., running back Devin Neal, and offensive tackle Barry Wesley. Along with Tyson, linebacker Jaylan Ford has been placed on IR with a designation to return. Finally, the club placed receiver Mason Tipton on the reserve/physically unable to perform list and receiver Brock Rechsteiner on the reserve/suspended list

The trade of Deion Jones and Zamir White to the 49ers has sparked questions about its impact on the team's roster
Ty Chandler of the Saints is feared to have suffered a serious knee injury, adding to the team's backfield concerns which already include Alvin Kamara's MCL sprain and Devin Neal's hamstring issue. Kendre Miller recently returned from a back injury, and the Saints recently acquired Zamir White. The team's available options behind Travis Etienne are currently Miller, White, and Audric Estime
The second week of the NFL preseason closed with a trade. According to ESPN , the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers agreed to a deal that sends linebacker Deion Jones to the Bay Area in exchange for running back Zamir White . The transaction addresses depth for both teams, particularly for the Saints, with No. 2 running back Alvin Kamara nursing an MCL sprain . White signed with the 49ers less than two weeks ago. He inked a one-year deal worth $1.2 million and was projected to enter the season on the lower rungs of San Francisco's depth chart. Instead, he arrives in New Orleans with a chance to see playing time early in the campaign. White has never played a snap outside of Las Vegas, as he spent the first four years of his career with the Raiders and accumulated 736 rushing yards over 45 games. Jones landed on the Saints' roster a few days earlier on Aug. 7 by way of a one-year, $1.3 million contract. While he was an every-week starter for the Atlanta Falcons in each of his first six professional seasons, he filled a smaller role across three different teams over the last four years. Jones most recently played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and tallied 29 tackles in 17 games last year. Below are trade grades for the Saints and 49ers. Kamara's injury is a boon to Travis Etienne , who should take firm command of the No. 1 running back role in New Orleans if the former's absence carries into the regular season. It creates depth concerns in the backfield, though, especially since Kamara is not the only one on the shelf. Devin Neal aggravated a hamstring injury in Saturday's preseason game, and Audric Estime hurt his ankle in the preseason opener, leaving the Saints without the second, fourth and fifth options on their unofficial depth chart. Adding White to the group should keep the running backs afloat through the end of training camp, and he is capable of eating up a few snaps in the opening weeks of the regular season if called upon. Boosting the running back depth without taking on any additional salary is a win for the Saints, especially since the linebacker they are parting with was no lock to make the roster in the first place. Jones was a cut candidate whom the team listed as a fourth-teamer. The 49ers were in need of linebacker depth with only Fred Warner and Tatum Bethune available to them, and Jones fits the mold of a third option. He could even push Bethune for the primary backup role, but the latter made eight starts in 2025 when Warner suffered his gruesome ankle injury and may still factor into the team's plans after making those important contributions. Regardless of how Jones fits into the equation, all San Francisco had to part with to acquire him was a deep backup who, at best, was sixth in line for carries. Removing players from behind Christian McCaffrey is always a risk given his extensive injury history, but the 49ers have plenty of more enticing backups they would turn to before White, who might not have even made the roster in the first place. The team also just signed Khalil Herbert in a corresponding move to Patrick Taylor Jr.'s landing on injured reserve, so the cupboard is far from bare

The 49ers have announced several roster moves on Wednesday. In addition to the previously reported signing of running back Zamir White , San Francisco announced the club has signed cornerback Eli Apple and defensive lineman Xavier Thomas. Apple was with the 49ers through the offseason program and early on in training camp this year before the team let him go earlier this month. The No. 10 overall pick of the 2016 draft, Apple appeared in two games for San Francisco last season while on the practice squad. A fifth-round pick in 2024, Thomas has appeared in 18 games over the last two seasons for the Cardinals. He’s registered 2.5 career sacks. As corresponding roster moves, the 49ers waived receiver Junior Bergen, punter Jack Bouwmeester, and defensive lineman K.J. Henry. Henry was waived with an injury designation
San Francisco has elected to add one of the running backs the club worked out this week. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the 49ers are signing Zamir White. White, 26, completed his rookie contract with the Raiders with the 2025 season. A fourth-round pick in 2022, White has appeared in 45 career games with nine starts. He’s taken 198 carries for 736 yards with two touchdowns and caught 25 passes for 152 yards. In six games last season, White took 12 carries for 32 yards and caught four passes for 24 yards. The 49ers also had Nyheim Miller-Hines in for a workout earlier this week. Running back Christian McCaffrey missed Monday’s practice with tightness. Fellow running backs Jordan James, Kaelon Black, and Isaac Guerendo have also been sidelined
