  • Kirk Merritt: Cut from Saints' practice squad

    New Orleans cut Merritt from its practice squad Tuesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Merritt has played in just one of the Saints' three games in 2023, and at least for now, the team has decided to part ways with him. He's now set to become a free agent.

  • Kirk Merritt: Re-signs with Saints' practice unit

    New Orleans signed Merritt to its practice squad Thursday. Just two days after being cut by the team, Merritt is back with the Saints' organization. With Jamaal Williams (hamstring) still missing from practice, it would not be surprising if New Orleans saw fit to elevate a running back for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

  • Kirk Merritt: Gets cut loose

    Merritt was waived by the Saints on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Merritt was a healthy inactive for the team's win over the Panthers on Monday. After spending time with New Orleans in each of the last two seasons as a receiver, the 26-year-old converted over to running back but was unable to garner a consistent role there either.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Won't play at Carolina

    Merritt (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game at the Panthers. After playing just two offensive snaps in Week 1, Merritt will be unavailable Week 2. His absence leaves Jamaal Williams and Tony Jones as the only New Orleans running backs available Monday.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Plays special-teams role Week 1

    Merritt did not log a carry during Sunday's 16-15 win versus the Titans. Merritt played only two of his eight total snaps on offense during New Orleans' season opener. With Alvin Kamara suspended, the Saints also elevated running back Tony Jones from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup, though he also played just seven offensive snaps behind temporary No. 1 running back Jamaal Williams (49). With versatile offensive player Taysom Hill also available for occasional carries, it's likely the Saints continue to heavily rely on Williams and Merritt consequently sees minimal opportunity.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Catches one pass Monday night

    Merritt (hamstring) caught one pass for eight yards on one target in the Saints' preseason win over the Chargers Monday night.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Battling through injury

    Merritt has been experiencing hamstring tightness this week, Ross Jackson of SI.com reports. It's not clear how much practice time Merritt has missed and if he's just been limited or has been a non-participant. The 26-year-old is working to make the 53-man roster as a running back after spending his first three NFL seasons as a wide receiver.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Makes positional change

    Saints head coach Dennis Allen confirmed Thursday that Merritt is now a running back, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports. The 26-year-old had caught only one pass in his three-year NFL career before converting to running back this offseason. Merritt was signed as an undrafted rookie by the Dolphins in 2020 and spent two years in Miami before heading to New Orleans in 2022. He's most likely competing for a spot on the practice squad, as he'll be behind at least Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller at running back ahead of the coming season.

    Merritt reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Merritt played nine special teams snaps in the Week 15 win over Atlanta, but he didn't see the field on offense. The 25-year-old wide receiver remains stuck on one career NFL catch.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Comes up from practice squad

    The Saints elevated Merritt to the active roster ahead of Monday Night Football versus the Buccaneers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Merritt spent the preseason with New Orleans and joined the team's practice squad after being waived in late August. The 25-year-old will now be bumped up to the active roster after the team also waived Kevin White (illness) on Monday. Merritt did see snaps as both a running back and wide receiver in training camp, though he's unlikely to see much usage barring any injuries to the Saints' starting skill players.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Takes snaps at running back

    Merritt lined up in the backfield for several snaps Sunday, John DeShazier of the team's official website reports. After spending the majority of the 2021 campaign on the Dolphins' practice squad, Merritt joined the Saints in January. It appears as if the team is considering using him in a hybrid role, affording him reps at both running back and wide receiver.

  • Saints' Kirk Merritt: Signing with New Orleans

    The Saints will sign Merritt to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

He secured one of three targets for 13 yards and now will attempt to carve out a role with New Orleans during the offseason.

  • Dolphins' Kirk Merritt: Elevated to active roster

  • Kirk Merritt: Catches one ball in win

    Merritt caught one of three targets for 13 yards Sunday in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans. He reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad following the game. After being elevated from the practice squad prior to the contest, Merritt saw his first action of the season Sunday. The 24-year-old wideout played on just 11 of the team's 75 offensive snaps, but he was still highly involved during his minimal time on the field. He could have had a shot at an even bigger day if not for Jacoby Brissett slightly underthrowing a deep ball that Merritt couldn't reel in. With Will Fuller (finger) likely to remain on injured reserve Week 10 along with fellow receiver DeVante Parker (shoulder), Merritt could be called up from the practice squad again ahead of Thursday's game against the Ravens.

If the Dolphins are still dealing with a plethora of injuries at the wide receiver position by the time they take on Atlanta in Week 7, Merritt could be called upon again.
