Saints signed tight end Treyton Welch to their active roster and placed running back Audric Estimé on Injured Reserve. Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: New Orleans also elevated wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. and running back CJ Donaldson from the practice squad. The moves come ahead of Sunday's season opener.

Why it matters: Donaldson gives the Saints another backfield option with Estimé unavailable.

What to watch: Sunday's game will show how much work Donaldson gets in the backfield.
