The New Orleans Saints have made a flurry of signings in the aftermath of this weekend's rookie minicamp, and the flip side of those additions is that the team must cut some players to remain under the 90-man roster limit.

A player who led the Saints in preseason tackles last year and made a few cameo appearances on Sundays is one of the casualties.

New Orleans has decided to waive linebacker Adam Bighill, a source told The Advocate on Monday, ending the former CFL star's tenure after one season. The Saints also waived former LSU safety Rickey Jefferson, cornerback Bradley Sylve and former Ole Miss offensive lineman Daronte Bouldin to make room for new additions.

How does Darren Rizzi's new position impact his future in New Orleans?

History suggests Darren Rizzi will either be the New Orleans Saints head coach or not be on the staff at all in 2025.

There have been 23 interim head coaches in the last 10 years. Antonio Pierce, Doug Marrone and Mike Mularkey are the only three to be retained as full-time head coach. Other than those three, none of the other interim head coaches were on the staff the next year.

Losing Rizzi would be big loss for the team. He’s one of the league’s leaders in special teams. This is evident my his efforts, and success, to change the kickoff rules. Rizzi spearheaded that.

Saints getting healthier, Darren Rizzi to make debut as interim head coach

NEW ORLEANS — Darren Rizzi says it is his goal to become an NFL head coach. He's now got eight games to show what he can do as the Saints interim coach. Injuries and a roster that had no depth, play a role in Dennis Allen getting fired and Rizzi has to battle through the same issues.

His team could get a little healthier for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Rizzi was named interim head coach on Monday after the Saints fired Allen following the team's seven-game losing streak.

The Saints started practicing under Rizzi on Wednesday.

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons finished up their second practices on Thursday ahead of their NFC South matchup. The Saints opened the 21-day practice window for center Erik McCoy, who hasn't played since week three.

Saints' most important offensive starter returns after early-season injury

This could be big. The New Orleans Saints haven’t won a game since Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy got hurt back in Week 3, which put him on injured reserve after undergoing groin muscle surgery. But their most important offensive starter returned to practice on Thursday, at least on a limited basis.

It’s still probably too soon for McCoy to get back into a game; his initial timeline had him returning to the lineup after the bye week. There’s a chance he could return sooner, and opening his 21-day practice window may indicate he’ll be back sooner rather than later.

There were two big changes to the New Orleans Saints injury report ahead of Week 10’s game with the Atlanta Falcons. Two starters on injured reserve returned to practice, one of them receiving an upgrade to full reps — safety Will Harris (hamstring). Another, center Erik McCoy (groin), practiced on a limited basis. McCoy’s return is likely a week away or more but that’s a big step in the right direction.

Other than that, it’s more of the same. Wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) still didn’t participate. Neither did cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry...
