The #Saints are releasing QB Ian Book, source said. He is a practice squad target if he clears waivers and should have some interest.

Would playing for the USFL, CFL, or arena teams make him ineligible for the Saints PS?

Some guys have already been signed to PS. We also claimed an OL from the Bills.

The New Orleans Saints just signed my client Josh Andrews to the practice squad. Veteran C/G will likely be back on an active roster soon.

Since the final(somewhat) roster is now established, the Saints should be placing Penning on IR today right? Or do the Saints have to play game one before he can go on retrievable IR?

Probably felt Washington is the safest one to cut and bring back after week one.

Pretty standard move we do to have a cheaper player get the guaranteed money for a smaller cap hit, but then drop him to the PS and resign the vet week 2. Meachem was someone we did this with in the past, for example.

From what I understand, if they go on IR before week 1 they cannot come off.

So Penning and maybe Trequan are being carried a week before hitting IR.

A quick google turned up this:

Starting on Wednesday at 4:01 p.m. ET, teams can move players to the injured reserve list and still have them eligible to return at some point during the season.
