Mitchell Loewen: Waived by Saints
Loewen was released by New Orleans on Tuesday, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.
Loewen finished Monday's 30-28 win over Houston with a pair of solo tackles, helping the Saints start the 2019 season off on the right foot. But with David Onyemata (suspension) returning to the fold, Loewen was expendable, so the team opted to waive the 26-year-old to make room for Onyemata's return.

Loewen (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams.
Loewen hasn't seen any action since Week 2, but he could be active for the Week 9 matchup with the Saints down a defensive end in Marcus Davenport (toe).

Saints' Mitchell Loewen: Rebounds from ankle surgery
Loewen (ankle) has returned to full health after undergoing surgery earlier this season, Nick Underhill of The Baton Rouge Advocate reports.
Loewen is healthy and able to run again after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Saints' Week 2 loss to New England. The converted linebacker who went undrafted out of Arkansas looks to persevere through a plethora of injuries (including a Lisfranc injury in his final collegiate game) which has kept him from making a significant impact on the Saints' defensive line. Loewen failed to record a tackle in two regular season appearances in 2017, although he did record 1.5 sacks during the preseason.
