EDGE Analysis
Roach was active for the Saints' first five games of the season, but he landed on injured reserve in Week 6 with a knee injury. He returned for Week 10, but he played a marginal role and was waived the following Tuesday. He was eventually brought back on a practice squad deal, but he hasn't been elevated to the active roster since rejoining the team.

Roach (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Roach played just 14 snaps against the Titans last week in his return from a three-game absence. His inability to play again this week means Christian Ringo should see most of his snaps as a result.

Roach has signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, Danny Davis of Hookem.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A team captain at Texas for his senior year in 2019, Roach went undrafted in 2020 but quickly found a home with New Orleans. He'll have his work cut out for him, competing for a roster spot on a Saints team with plenty of talent on the defensive side of the ball.
