Giants' Jake Haener: Elevated, likely to be backup QB in Week 4
The Giants elevated Haener from their practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Haener was active for last Sunday's win against Tennessee but didn't get into the game. He was subsequently waived Monday after New York traded for J.J. McCarthy, but Haener then rejoined New York as part of the team's practice squad Wednesday. His elevation for Week 4 likely means Haener will back up Jameis Winston for a second straight week, as Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com notes that McCarthy likely hasn't yet had enough time to familiarize himself with the Giants' playbook.

Jake Haener: Returning to Giants' practice squad
The Giants signed Haener to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Haener began the season with the Giants' practice squad before being signed to the active roster last week, only to subsequently be waived following the team's trade for J.J. McCarthy on Monday. Haener will likely continue to serve as the emergency third-string quarterback behind Jameis Winston and McCarthy.

Jake Haener: Let go by Big Blue
The Giants waived Haener on Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
The Giants signed Haener from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday in anticipation of Sunday's game against the Titans. The quarterback was utilized as a backup to Jameis Winston due to the injury to Jaxson Dart (knee). The team traded with the Vikings for quarterback J.J. McCarthy on Monday, meaning Haener's spot on the active roster has been filled by a younger option. If the quarterback clears waivers, there is a decent chance he ends up back with the Giants on the practice squad.

Giants' Jake Haener: Signs with Giants' active roster
The Giants signed Haener from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
In the wake of Jaxson Dart's serious left knee injury that will sideline him for the rest of the regular season, Jameis Winston will get the first chance to be New York's starting QB on Sunday against the Titans, and Haener's standing as the only other signal-caller on the roster implied that he'd serve as the backup in the initial contest without Dart. Whether or not that'll last beyond Week 3 remains to be seen, but Haener does have NFL experience under his belt, as he completed 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception and rushed 11 times for 22 yards in eight appearances (one start) as a member of the Saints in 2024.

Giants' Jake Haener: Catches on with Giants
The Giants signed Haener to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Haener worked out for the Giants in late July after he was let go by the Chiefs in early May. He'll now have the opportunity to compete against Brandon Allen for the QB3 job over the last couple of weeks of training camp. Haener last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Saints, when he appeared in eight games (one start) and completed 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning 11 carries into 22 yards.

Jake Haener: Cut by Chiefs
Kansas City waived Haener on Monday.
Haener inked a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs in February after spending the 2025 campaign as the No. 3 quarterback in New Orleans, but he now finds himself the odd man out with the Chiefs after the team traded for Justin Fields and selected Garrett Nussmeier in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, Haener will seek the chance to compete for a reserve role elsewhere in the league.

Chiefs' Jake Haener: Inks future deal with KC
The Chiefs signed Haener to a reserve/future contract Monday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Haener didn't take a single snap during the 2025 season while serving as the QB3 behind Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler (finger) in New Orleans. Haener -- a fourth-round selection of the Saints in the 2023 NFL Draft -- appeared in eight games (one start) in 2024, when he completed 18 of 39 pass attempts for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Now in Kansas City, Haener will have the opportunity to earn a reserve QB role behind Patrick Mahomes (knee).

Jake Haener: Reverts to practice squad
Haener reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Haener was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday and ended up serving as Tyler Shough's backup for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons due to the absence of Spencer Rattler (finger). Haener didn't end up playing a single snap during Sunday's loss and did not appear in a regular-season game in 2025. He was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but his role with New Orleans in 2026 isn't clear given Shough's strong play to end the regular season and Rattler's presence.

Saints' Jake Haener: Elevated as potential backup
The Saints elevated Haener from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Haener has spent most of the season on the Saints' practice squad. Due to backup quarterback Spencer Rattler (finger) being listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Haener will likely be the replacement if needed. The 26-year-old would be set to back up rookie Tyler Shough if Rattler ends up being inactive for Week 18.

Jake Haener: Back with NOLA's practice squad
The Saints signed Haener to the practice squad Tuesday.
Haener will return to New Orleans on the practice squad after being let go from the active roster Saturday. Haener would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster as an emergency quarterback or as a backup if Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough were to miss time.

Jake Haener: Cut by New Orleans
The Saints waived Haener on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Haener was cut by New Orleans last week but signed with the team's practice squad after he cleared waivers. If he clears waivers again, it would make sense for the quarterback to return to the practice squad at some point.

Saints' Jake Haener: Added back to roster
The Saints signed Haener off their practice squad Tuesday.
After falling behind Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough in the competition for the Saints' starting quarterback job during the preseason, Haener was cut last week, but he ended up sticking in the organization upon clearing waivers. He didn't have to wait long to land back on the 53-man roster, as the Saints had a spot available for him after releasing safety J.T. Gray on Monday. Haener will still slot in third on the depth chart at quarterback and is likely to remain inactive most weeks while both Rattler and Shough are available.

Haener lost his roster spot Tuesday after beginning the preseason in a competition to be the Saints' starter. New Orleans currently has only Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough on its active roster, so Haener may be elevated for game days.
