The Saints have trimmed 22 players from the roster since Friday to get down to the 53-player regular-season limit by Saturday’s deadline.
Receiver Nick Toon was among several young, relatively unproven players who survived final cuts. Others still with the club include undrafted rookie cornerback Brian Dixon; linebackers Kyle Knox, Todd Davis and Kasim Edebali; and offensive lineman Senio Kelemente.
Included among final cuts were: receivers Brandon Coleman, Seantavious Jones and Charles Hawkins; cornerbacks Terrence Frederick, Trevin Wade and Derrius Brooks; running back Derrick Strozier, linebacker Keyunta Dawson; fullback Greg Jones; and offensive linemen Jason Weaver, Marcel Jones, Tavon Rooks and Thomas Welch.
