Saints elevate Sewell, Ridgeway ruled out vs Patriots

By Ross Jackson

NEW ORLEANS, La. — The New Orleans Saints have announced their game day roster moves for their Week 6 matchup with the New England Patriots. They announced one elevation and one downgrade. 

#Saints are again elevating LB Nephi Sewell for this weekend’s game. DT John Ridgeway III has been downgraded to out.

Just like last week, New Orleans is elevating linebacker Nephi Sewell for game day. He will be able to continue his contributions in trying to elevate a struggling special teams unit, particularly in coverage, while providing depth at linebacker.

Additionally, the Saints announced that defensive tackle John Ridgeway III has been downgraded from questionable to out as he works to return from a pectoral injury that landed him on Injured Reserve earlier at roster cuts. 

Otherwise, the Saints are going into Sunday’s game with a full complement of weapons and contributors across the roster. Chasing its second win of the season, New Orleans may be at its healthiest so far this season.
