NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints have moved versatile quarterback Taysom Hill and tight end Foster Moreau from the club's physically unable to perform list to the active roster in advance of Sunday's home game against the New York Giants.
The roster moves announced Saturday raise the prospects that both players, who are coming off major knee injuries late last season, could make their 2025 debuts for winless New Orleans (0-4) against the Giants (1-3).
Hill, who was listed as a tight end the past two seasons, had that designation changed last week to QB, the position at which he began his NFL career as a backup in 2017 after starting at that spot in college for BYU.
However, Saints first-year coach Kellen Moore has indicated that Hill will continue to have a versatile role on offense and special teams as he has in the past, possibly playing everything from tight end to running back to receiver, as well as regularly serving on the punt and punt coverage teams.
Spencer Rattler, who has lost all 10 of his career NFL starts — six as a rookie last season — will remain the starting QB.
Moreau, who was hurt late in the fourth quarter of the Saints' 2024 regular-season finale, had 32 catches for 413 yards and a team-high five touchdown receptions last season.
The Saints also elevated linebacker Eku Leota to the active roster from the practice squad, placed wide receiver Trey Palmer on injured reserve and waived rookie tight end Moliki Matavao.
New Orleans also downgraded defensive tackle John Ridgeway III to out for Sunday’s game.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Stephen Curry had 49 points, outdueling Victor Wembanyama in another intense battle and the Golden State Warriors rallied to beat the San Antonio Spurs 109-108 on Friday night for their first win in the NBA Cup.
Wembanyama had 26 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 38 minutes but San Antonio fell to 1-1 in the NBA Cup.
Curry had 31 points, including a pair of free throws with 6 seconds that proved the difference. He was 16 for 26 from the field and 9 for 17 on 3-pointers in his highest-scoring game of the season.
The Warriors swept the two-game set in San Antonio, rallying in the fourth quarter to win both games.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr said playing back-to-back games in San Antonio gave the game had a playoff feel and it played out like one.
Officials had to separate Draymond Green and Wembanyama three times as they muscled for position on an inbounds play four minutes in the fourth quarter. Wembanyama would dunk on Green on an inbounds alley-oop but officials waved off the basket because Green fouled the Spurs' center prior to the attempt. Green collected his fifth foul seconds later on the next inbounds, storming off the court and screaming at officials over the whistle.
Wembanyama blocked Jimmy Butler's layup attempt with 33 seconds remaining and the Spurs leading 108-107. San Antonio failed to capitalize offensively as De'Aaron Fox missed a 17 footer with 12 seconds remaining.
Curry was fouled by Fox on the ensuing possession and calmly drained both free throws to put the Warriors ahead by one point. Fox missed an 18-foot jumper as time expired.
Fox finished with 24 points and 10 assists and Julian Champagnie added 14 points.
Butler added 21 points and Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard added 10 each for Golden State.
Warriors play Sunday at New Orleans.
Spurs host Sacramento on Sunday.
