Saints Add Chase Hansen to Active Roster, Sign Jake Luton to Practice Squad

The Saints made two moves on Tuesday, according to the NFL Transaction Report. The team is promoting linebacker Chase Hansen to the active roster, and is signing quarterback Jake Luton to the practice squad.
New Orleans had an open roster spot, and Hansen is someone who will fit in on special teams if called upon. He made quite the splash against the Texans in the preseason opener, but got hurt and missed some time. After not making the final roster, the team added him back on the practice squad.
Luton, who was with the Jaguars most recently, was a sixth-round pick by Jacksonville in 2020. He started in three of their games in that season, but didn't get a win in any of the games. The need to add a quarterback was there after Ian Book was claimed off of waivers by the Eagles.
We'll get our first glimpse of the team's health on Wednesday's injury report. It will be interesting to see where Pete Werner is at, but most signs are positive for the Saints heading into Week 1's matchup against the Falcons on the road.

Also, I just saw an article saying that Mike Thomas is expected to play week 1.

I remember Luton from the 2020 draft. Kind of a Brock Osweiler clone, although not as good. Pretty decent arm strength. Big guy

Strengths
Ideal NFL build with pro-level arm;
Takes good care of the ball and rarely puts anything in harms way;
Steady improvement throughout his collegiate career;
Accurate deep ball passer when he actually stretches the field;
Played well against the best competition he faced;
Can stand tall and deliver any throw when given a clean pocket.
Weaknesses
Maddeningly conservative – refuses to throw deep unless there’s no other choice;
Falls apart under pressure;
Short field accuracy leaves something to be desired;
Immediately checks it down if first or second read isn’t there;
Poor footwork, especially when evading rushers;
Too often just forced the ball to Isaiah Hodgins regardless of the coverage.
