New Orleans Saints Release Cornerback David Long Jr. from Injured Reserve

The New Orleans Saints have announced the release of cornerback David Long Jr. from injured reserve, as reported by the NFL’s official transaction wire.

This decision allows the Saints' medical staff to allocate resources more effectively and gives the 28-year-old Long the chance to pursue a career with another team this season.

Long, who was drafted in the third round by the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, has had a varied career, including a Super Bowl championship with the Rams. He has played approximately 80 games, recording around 96 tackles and eight passes defensed. His release opens the possibility for him to sign with any team or potentially return to the Saints' practice squad after a waiting period.
