Welcome to today’s roundup of New Orleans Saints and NFL news.

Following the bye week, the New Orleans Saints made a coaching staff move on the offensive side. The run game has been horrible, and although it was only one change, parting ways with T.J. Paganetti may help. It also may not, with Brendan Nugent still coaching the offensive line and being a major voice in the run, but hopefully this can lead to some improvements.

The Saints can still make more moves, but Paganetti is likely the only coach to be fired.
