A pair of Saints, linebacker Kaden Elliss and long snapper Zach Wood have been placed on the club’s reserve list with Covid-19.

Elliss and Wood both appeared on the official NFL transaction wire Thursday afternoon.


Details of the players conditions are confidential. They either tested positive for Covid-19 or came in close contact with someone who had.

Wood, who joined the Saints in 2017, signed a four year contract extension with the club in March. Elliss is a former 7th round pick in 2019. He was placed on injured reserve in September of last year.
