Reverts to practice squad
Welch reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Welch was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday and played 12 snaps (five on offense, seven on special teams) during Sunday's win over the Titans, though he did not show up on the box score otherwise. Jack Stoll left Sunday's game due to a knee injury and is not expected to play in the Saints' regular-season finale against the Falcons this Sunday, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. That makes Welch a top candidate to be elevated to New Orleans' active roster for Week 18.

Joins active roster
Welch was elevated from the Saints' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Welch has been elevated to New Orleans' active roster for the second time this season ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans. In the Week 3 loss to the Seahawks, the Wyoming product failed to record an offensive statistic while playing 12 total snaps (eight on special teams, four on offense). Now back with the active roster, Welch is expected to play a depth role in the Saints' tight end corps while also contributing on special teams in Week 17.

Returns to practice
Welch (undisclosed) was an active participant at the Saints' practice Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Welch exited Wednesday's practice early with an undisclosed injury, but he now appears to be back to full strength after a couple days of rest. The tight end spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign on the practice squad with New Orleans, and he will likely be limited to the same role if he sticks around with the Saints in 2025.

Staying in New Orleans
New Orleans signed Welch to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Welch signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent in May of 2024. He was unable to make Cleveland's 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he managed to sign to New Orleans' practice squad in late August where he spent the 2024 regular season. Welch will be with the Saints during OTAs and minicamp and will look to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 season during training camp.

Finds work in New Orleans
Welch signed with the Saints' practice squad Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Welch didn't make the cut for the Browns' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he's quickly found a new home on the Saints' practice squad. The 23-year-old tight end went undrafted out of Wyoming this past offseason and he could spend time with New Orleans' active roster if the team's tight-end room faces injuries at some point.

May get increased opportunities
Welch could be in line for increased practice reps with teammate Giovanni Ricci expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury.
Analysis: Multiple Browns tight ends are now dealing with injuries, including presumptive starter David Njoku (undisclosed) and Zaire Mitchell-Paden (undisclosed). It therefore wouldn't be surprising to see Welch get extended playing time during their preseason finale at Seattle on Saturday.
