Jude McAtamney elevated from practice squad; Tomon Fox signed to active roster

What happened?

The New Orleans Saints have elevated defensive end Jude McAtamney from the practice squad and signed defensive end Tomon Fox to the active roster.

McAtamney, 25, has appeared in two games for the Saints this season, recording one tackle. He was originally signed by the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2021.

Fox, 27, has played in 11 games for the Carolina Panthers this season, recording 15 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and one forced fumble.

Why it matters

The Saints are currently dealing with injuries to several defensive linemen, including Marcus Davenport, Tanoh Kpassagnon, and David Onyemata.

McAtamney and Fox will provide depth to the Saints' defensive line and could see significant playing time in the coming weeks.

What's next

The Saints will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. It is unclear if McAtamney and Fox will be active for the game.
