The New Orleans Saints on Saturday established the initial 53-man roster for the 2016 regular season.

While the roster should be considered fluid before the regular-season opener against the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 11, the Saints currently have 24 players on offense, 26 players on defense and three specialists.

The Saints can still tweak the roster after the waiver process expires Sunday, and the 10-man practice squad, which can be established Sunday, is also pending.



In the meantime, here is how the roster breaks down by position:

Quarterbacks (3): Drew Brees, Luke McCown, Garrett Grayson

Running backs (5): Mark Ingram, Tim Hightower, C.J. Spiller, Marcus Murphy, Daniel Lasco

Fullback (1): John Kuhn

Tight ends (3): Coby Fleener, Josh Hill, Chris Manhertz
