84 Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR

The Saints placed Humphrey (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

It's unclear what Humphrey is dealing with, but the Saints signed WR Malik Henry to operate on the practice squad in his place for the time being.

Humphrey was waived by the Saints on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Humphrey played five games with the Saints last year but didn't record a catch over 53 offensive snaps. He was unable to secure a roster spot in 2020, and he will likely need to settle for a practice squad role to begin the season.

Humphrey concluded the regular season with no receptions on one target across five games.

After going undrafted out of Texas last spring, Humphrey signed with the Saints and took part in training camp and the preseason before getting waived prior to Week 1. The wideout stuck around with the organization as a member of the practice squad and earned a promotion to the 53-man roster Sept. 18, appearing in four of the team's five games before he was cut loose again in late October. After another stint on the practice squad, Humphrey was promoted again prior to Week 17 and logged 15 offensive snaps between the regular-season finale and the Saints' wild-card round loss to the Vikings. He'll remain with New Orleans through OTAs and will look to carve out a more meaningful role heading into his second NFL season in 2020.

Humphrey was promoted to the Saints' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Humphrey suited up in four games for the Saints this season, playing 41 offensive snaps and being targeted just once. He'll line up as the team's No. 5 wide receiver for the season finale against the Panthers, and he could stick around for the playoff run.

The Saints waived Humphrey on Saturday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Humphrey suited up in four games for the Saints while Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) sat out, but the Saints decided to swap Humphrey out for Kirshawn Hogan as a depth piece. Humphrey, an undrafted rookie out of Texas, may land on the Saints' practice squad.

The Saints promoted Humphrey from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Humphrey spent the offseason with New Orleans. He didn't survive roster cut-down day, but now finds his way to the 53-man unit following the placement of Keith Kirkwood (hamstring) on IR. The talented rookie out of Texas will work to make use of his impressive hands and route running to carve out a depth role in the Saints' wideout corps, though he could be limited to special teams to start.

The Saints are signing Humphrey to their practice squad, Herbie Teope of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

The undrafted rookie out of Texas didn't survive cut-down day, but he'll stick around in New Orleans after passing through waivers unclaimed. Humphrey caught four passes for 104 yards and a touchdown in the preseason, after hauling in 86 of 124 targets for 1,176 yards and nine touchdowns during his final collegiate campaign.

Humphrey secured his lone target for 43 yards in the Saints' 16-13 loss to the Dolphins in Thursday's preseason finale.

Humphrey led the Saints in receiving, though all of his production came on a long 43-yard gainer. The talented rookie out of Texas has shined in camp this offseason, and he has a strong chance to make the final 53-man roster.

New Orleans is expected to sign Humphrey to an undrafted free-agent contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

Humphrey is coming off of a quality season at Texas but his lackluster NFL Scouting Combine results hurt his stock. He made up for his lack of top-end speed with his height (6-foot-4), route running and catching ability, all of which are traits that could help him succeed in the NFL. He'll aim to contribute as a depth receiver and special teams player with the Saints in 2019.
