The New Orleans Saints waived rookie tight end Alize Mack from their practice squad, according to the official NFL transactions wire on Friday. Mack’s release was the corresponding move to reunite with backup nose tackle Taylor Stallworth, who the Saints cut from the 53-man roster earlier this week.

Mack was a seventh-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame; he missed a weeks-long chunk of training camp while managing an injury suffered in practice, and was initially waived during roster cuts before returning to the team. The Saints lack depth at tight end and could bring him back in yo-yo fashion, as they did often with quarterback J.T. Barrett last year (signing, waiving, and re-signing him 25 times). But Mack has to pass through waivers unclaimed before they’ll have that opportunity.

The tight ends remaining on the team include two on the 53-man roster in Jared Cook and Josh Hill; third-year pro Dan Arnold remains on the practice squad. Mike Triplett of ESPN reported that defensive lineman Mitchell Loewen also changed jersey numbers recently (now wearing No. 88) and is trying out at tight end for the Saints, though he hasn’t played the position since his sophomore year at Arkansas. Given the uninspiring play from Cook so far (catching just 4 of 10 targets in his first two games, gaining 62 yards), more shuffling at the position may be needed.
