Swearinger was activated from the COVID-19 list on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger is able to rejoin the Saints ahead of their NFC divisional-round matchup on Sunday against Tampa Bay after clearing the league's COVID-19 protocols. The 29-year-old's return provides depth for the Saints' secondary.

New Orleans placed Swearinger on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jeff Duncan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger joins a host of Saints players -- including their entire RB room -- who are ineligible to play Sunday after landing on the COVID-19 list. With Marcus Williams (ankle) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson (COVID-19) also out, New Orleans' secondary depth will be thin against Carolina.

Swearinger (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger won't be needed at free safety for a road trip to the Windy City, as Marcus Williams and P.J. Williams are both available to play. The South Carolina product has made three appearances during his first full season with New Orleans, tallying an average of 17 defensive snaps per game in those contests.

Swearinger inked a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Saints on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger was a late signing Week 15 by the Saints, and the team elected to keep him around. In five games between the Raiders and Saints, the 28-year-old produced 22 tackles (15 solo) and two pass breakups. He'll provide depth at safety for the Saints heading into the 2020 campaign.

Swearinger signed a contract with the Saints on Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger was let go by the Raiders last week and will now join a playoff team down the stretch. The 28-year-old provides depth at safety with Vonn Bell (knee) and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson (concussion) not healthy.

The Raiders waived Swearinger on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger was a starter with the Cardinals to begin the season before being cut Sept. 30. The 28-year-old found a new home in Oakland with Lamarcus Joyner dealing with a hamstring injury and Karl Joseph (foot) being placed on IR. However, Joyner is healthy, and the Raiders appear comfortable with the four safeties they have on board. Swearinger has posted 48 tackles over eight games this year.

Swearinger registered seven tackles during Sunday's 17-10 victory over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

In his first game since signing with the Raiders, Swearinger logged 38 defensive snaps while helping to replace the injured Karl Joseph (foot) and Lamarcus Joyner (hamstring). Even though Joyner could return sooner than later, it's possible Swearinger could see more snaps in Week 12 when the Raiders travel to play the Jets.

Swearinger signed a contract with the Raiders on Friday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger's signing comes on the heels of news that Oakland's starting strong safety, Karl Joseph, may have suffered a significant injury in Thursday night's win over the Chargers. If that is indeed the case, Swearinger could be thrust into a crucial role immediately for the Raiders alongside fellow safeties Erik Harris and Lamarcus Joyner. Swearinger last played for the Cardinals earlier this season before being released in late September.

The Cardinals released Swearinger on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals showcased a notoriously bad pass defense through the first four games, allowing 10 touchdowns (ranked 30th) and 271 passing yards per game (22nd). They needed to make a change, and Swearinger appears to be the casualty after playing all but one defensive snap during the first quarter of the season. This also may illustrate Arizona's confidence in rookie fifth-round pick Deionte Thompson to start at strong safety alongside Budda Baker.

Swearinger (undisclosed) practiced Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swearinger had been nursing a soft tissue injury for the last couple of weeks, but it appears the defensive back is back healthy. He may be in line to make his preseason debut Thursday against the Raiders.
