The Saints on Wednesday elevated rookie center Cameron Tom from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster, according to a source familiar with the transaction.

Tom's elevation comes a week after the Washington Redskins attempted to sign him from the Saints practice squad.

The 6-foot-4, 287-pound Tom provides depth with guard Larry Warford dealing with an abdominal strain and will take the roster spot vacated by cornerback Sterling Moore, whom the Saints released Wednesday.
