  Rotowire Oct 25, 2026

  Welch (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers in Paris, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Welch had appeared in five of the Saints' first six games but will be in street clothes for the contest in France while New Orleans keeps just three tight ends active (Juwan Johnson, Noah Fant and Oscar Delp). In his prior five outings, Welch had drawn just one target while seeing the bulk of his snaps on special teams.

  Rotowire Sep 12, 2026

  The Saints signed Welch to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. With Audric Estime (thigh) moved to IR in a surprise move, the Saints gained an open spot on the 53-man roster. Welch will be the No. 3 tight end due to Oscar Delp (hamstring) being ruled out and will likely participate almost exclusively on special teams and in 13-personnel sets, if he plays at all in the team's Week 1 matchup with the Lions.

• Treyton Welch: Catches on with NOLA's practice squad

  Rotowire Sep 2, 2026

  The Saints signed Welch to the practice squad Wednesday. Welch made the Saints' initial 53-man roster Sunday but was waived on Monday to make room for additions off waivers. The tight end cleared waivers himself before returning to the team on the practice squad. The tight end was elevated from the practice squad for two games last year and signed with the 53-man roster for a third in early January. Welch played 37 total snaps over the contests and will likely play a similar role for the Saints in 2026.

• Treyton Welch: Reverts to practice squad

  Rotowire Dec 29, 2025

  Welch reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Welch was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday and played 12 snaps (five on offense, seven on special teams) during Sunday's win over the Titans, though he did not show up on the box score otherwise. Jack Stoll left Sunday's game due to a knee injury and is not expected to play in the Saints' regular-season finale against the Falcons this Sunday, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. That makes Welch a top candidate to be elevated to New Orleans' active roster for Week 18.

• Saints' Treyton Welch: Staying in New Orleans

  Rotowire Jan 6, 2025

  New Orleans signed Welch to a reserve/future contract Monday. Welch signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent in May of 2024. He was unable to make Cleveland's 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he managed to sign to New Orleans' practice squad in late August where he spent the 2024 regular season.

The 23-year-old tight end went undrafted out of Wyoming this past offseason and he could spend time with New Orleans' active roster if the team's tight-end room faces injuries at some point.

• Browns' Treyton Welch: May get increased opportunities

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2024

  Welch could be in line for increased practice reps with teammate Giovanni Ricci expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury. Multiple Browns tight ends are now dealing with injuries, including presumptive starter David Njoku (undisclosed) and Zaire Mitchell-Paden (undisclosed). It therefore wouldn't be surprising to see Welch get extended playing time during their preseason finale at Seattle on Saturday.
