The New Orleans Saints play in the NFC South. This hub brings together the club’s official roster, player profiles, and related coverage.
The roster at a glance
The source lists 83 active, practice-squad, and reserve-list entries after released and transferred entries are excluded; 55 carry its ACT designation. An active-roster label is not a guarantee that a player will dress for a particular game.
Every player row below links to an individual profile and preserves the NFL’s status code. The roster was checked on September 20, 2026. It is a dated roster snapshot, not a game-day inactive report.

2026 regular season. 1st = best (most yards and points; fewest points allowed, turnovers and sacks). Ties share a rank. Each value shows its own window: points count every final, while yardage, turnovers and sacks come from box scores, which can trail by a game.
Team statistics
UPDATEDUpdated Oct 11, 2026, 5:05 am EDT
WHYNFL totals cover 64 verified completed games across 32 teams in the stated window. Games counted can differ by team. A metric is withheld if any included game lacks its value. Rates use summed numerators and denominators, not averages of game rates. Passing yards are before sacks; net passing and net total yards subtract sack losses. Turnovers lost include special teams. These are dated game-window totals, not a complete season.

Play and drive totals cover 65 completed games across 32 teams. Games counted can differ by team. Rates use summed outcomes and opportunities; no minimum attempts apply. A missing value in any counted game withholds that metric. These are dated covered-game figures, not a complete season.

First downs count the play record's total flags, including recorded penalty awards; they can differ from drive summaries. Conversion attempts use recorded converted and failed down flags, including flagged kneels. Nullified downs, punts and field goals are not inferred attempts.
Inside-20 drives have a recorded down starting closer than 20 yards from the opponent's goal line. Reaching only the 20 is excluded. Only touchdowns for the possessing team on those drives count. This definition is not an official league red-zone ranking.
Possession includes overtime. Time is minutes:seconds; per-game time is rounded to the nearest second. Possession share divides the team's recorded seconds by the full elapsed time of its counted games, including overtime. Rates use summed opportunities and zero opportunities have no percentage. Equal displayed values share a rank; rankings describe only the matching supplied teams. — = not supplied.
Regular-season record and points; postseason shows how each run ended. Expected W is the win total implied by points scored and allowed (Pythagorean expectation, exponent 2.37); the small figure is actual minus expected, where +1 or more suggests close-game luck. From WHYNFL's results archive, which begins in 1999, counted by franchise (Raiders include Oakland, Chargers San Diego, Rams St. Louis). Splits cover the regular season and playoffs: night games kick off at 7 pm Eastern or later (games without a listed kickoff are left out), and one-score games are decided by 8 points or fewer.
