Saints HC Kellen Moore said they are placing TE Foster Moreau on injured reserve and are promoting TE Moliki Matavao from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move, per Mike Triplett.
It’s a rough break for Moreau, who was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in October.
Moreau, 28, is a former fourth-round pick of the Raiders back in 2019. He played out the final year of his four-year contract with the Raiders.
Moreau was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in 2023 when he agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal, including $8 million guaranteed and $3 million through incentives with the Saints.
In 2025, Moreau appeared in 11 games for the Saints and caught seven passes on 10 targets for 59 yards (8.4 YPC).
