Running back Kene Nwangwu has been claimed by the New Orleans Saints after being waived by the Minnesota Vikings. This move brings Nwangwu back together with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who coached him during his rookie season.

Nwangwu was an All-Pro in 2022 and has a notable record of kickoff returns. The Saints will need to make roster adjustments, potentially affecting current tailback Jordan Mims.
