What happened: Kohl Levao moves to the active roster for offensive line depth. Jordan Clark and Blake Grupe take practice-squad spots, while John Saunders Jr. was released.

Why it matters: Levao, out of Hawai'i, is in his first NFL season. Grupe is in his fourth NFL season and Clark in his second after both were waived Sept. 29.

By the numbers: Blake Grupe made 29 of 37 field goals in 16 games in 2025, split between the Saints and Colts. Jordan Clark made 9 tackles in 6 games in 2025.

What to watch: Watch whether Levao dresses on game day. Kicking order bears watching if a field-goal need arises.
