Roach (knee) is slated to sign a two-year contract worth up to $8 million with the Broncos, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Roach finished last season on injured reserve due to a knee injury but still managed to compete in 12 contests for the Saints, recording a combined 38 tackles. The 25-year-old will reunite with his former head coach, Sean Payton, and he should bolster Denver's depth at nose tackle.

Roach (knee) logged 38 tackles and three passes defended across 12 appearances during the 2023 season. Roach logged a career high in tackles before sustaining a significant knee injury that sent him to injured reserve for the final five games of the 2023 season. The 25-year-old, who signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2020, has played a fairly sizable role as a rotational defensive tackle over the past two seasons, though he's now missed nine games due to injury over that span. Roach signed a one-year, $1.01 million deal with the Saints in March, and he's currently set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Roach agreed Tuesday with the Saints on a new contract, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Roach will remain in New Orleans for 2023, sticking within the only organization he's known since going undrafted out of Texas in 2020. He suited up for 13 games last season, recording 23 tackles (11 solo) and one sack. Roach is projected to fill a depth role along the Saints' defensive line.

The Saints activated Roach off injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Roach missed the first four games of the campaign after landing on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury, but he's in line to make his season debut in Week 5. Over the last two seasons, the undrafted defensive tackle has appeared in 16 games for the Saints, totaling 26 tackles and one interception.

Roach (undisclosed) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Roach can now practice with the team, and once he is moved to the active, roster he'll be eligible to play. Although he could return as soon as Sunday against the Seahawks, he does have a three-week window before he has to join the 53-man roster.
