Kevin White - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Contract with Saints plays out White's (illness) practice squad contract with the Saints expired Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact White moved back and forth between New Orleans' practice squad and active roster while filling in for the team's injury-riddled receiving corps from Weeks 6 to 12. He then popped up with an illness shortly before getting waived Dec. 5, and he finished his second campaign with the Saints on the practice squad. White thus finished his age-30 season with two receptions (on five targets) for 74 yards, and he'll likely look to carve out a similar reserve role with a team this offseason.

Joins New Orleans' practice squad The Saints signed White (illness) to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact White was waived by the Saints ahead of Monday's matchup against Tampa Bay to make room for Kirk Merritt on the active roster. However, White has since cleared waivers and will return to New Orleans on a practice-squad deal. He's made seven appearances for the Saints this season, securing two of five targets for 74 yards across 127 offensive snaps.

Let go Monday The Saints waived White (illness) on Monday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact White joined New Orleans' practice squad Oct. 5 and was elevated for three games before signing with the active roster Nov. 7. However, the 30-year-old caught just two of five targets for 74 yards on 127 offensive snaps across seven games, and he was considered questionable with an illness heading into Monday's matchup against Tampa Bay. Therefore, White was let go to help make room on the active roster for practice-squad wideout Kirk Merritt ahead of this Week 13 contest. White will likely look to join up with a practice squad elsewhere if he does not wind up re-signing with the Saints later on.

Uncertain for Monday White (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The depth receiver didn't practice both Thursday and Friday, but White appears to be trending in a positive direction after logging a limited participation in Saturday's practice. Despite the bump in playing time, White has just two receptions total this season and has just three combined targets since Week 9.

Targeted twice in loss White failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact The 30-year-old served as the Saints' No. 3 wideout with Marquez Callaway marked as a healthy scratch Sunday. White played a season-high 66 percent of New Orleans' offensive snaps behind rookie Chris Olave (79 percent) and veteran Jarvis Landry (79 percent), who was returning after missing the last five weeks with an ankle injury. While he still finished with fewer targets than tight ends Juwan Johnson (seven) and Adam Trautman (three), White's playing time could indicate an increased role in Week 11 against the Rams.

Signed to active roster The Saints signed White to their active roster from the practice squad Monday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact White was elevated for each of the previous three weeks, which means he needed to be signed to the active roster to appear in another game for the Saints this season. Over his three appearances, the wideout has caught just one of two targets but it went for 64 yards. If Jarvis Landry (ankle) remains sidelined, White figures to see around 20-30 offensive snaps against Baltimore.

Returns to practice squad White reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact White was elevated for the third week in a row ahead of Sunday's win over the Raiders as wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) remained sidelined. While the 30-year-old played a season-high 30 offensive snaps, he was not targeted while playing behind Tre'Quan Smith (38) and Chris Olave (37) but ahead of Marquez Callaway (21) and Rashid Shaheed (15). However, White did manage to show up on the stat sheet with and combined tackle with J.T. Gray on kick coverage. The wideout now will require a full spot on the active roster in order to suit up again for the Saints this season.

Suiting up vs. Las Vegas New Orleans elevated White from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact This will be the third consecutive week White is active for the Saints and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would need to be signed to the team's 53-man roster in order to play. The 2015 first-rounder has one reception for 64 yards on two targets through two games this season.

With Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) still sidelined, expect White to step in behind presumptive starters Chris Olave, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway.

Impact White joined the Saints' practice squad on Dec. 7 and was elevated to the active roster for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Jets.
