Saints waive J.T. Barrett again, add Paul Turner to practice squad

WhoDat!656 · 01-16-2019, 03:43 PM

The New Orleans Saints made what’s become a routine roster move on Wednesday, Jan. 16, waiving rookie quarterback J.T. Barrett from the practice squad. Barrett was released to make room for wide receiver Paul Turner, according to a report from Nick Underhill of the Advocate.

Turner previously spent time on the Saints’ 90-man summer roster in 2018, only to be waived shortly after the start of training camp. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017, and was briefly with the New England Patriots after being waived by New Orleans. He studied at Louisiana Tech in college, and is from West Monroe, La.

Looks like an undisclosed injury concern on somebody. Makes no sense at this point.

Kirkwood wasn't seen in open practice today. Turner may have been signed as a practice body to give Kirkwood rest.

I'm glad to hear you say this (not that I'm glad to hear Kirkwood wasn't seen). I was a little worried about Michael Thomas, he looked like he may have been nicked up a bit.
