    The Saints waived Ola on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

  • Saints' Michael Ola: Re-signs with Saints

    Ola (ankle) re-signed with the Saints on a one-year contract Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

  • Saints' Michael Ola: Nursing high ankle sprain

    Ola (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's 28-14 win over the Buccaneers, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    The Bills released Ola (ankle) on Wednesday on an injury settlement, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

  • Michael Ola: Waived by Bills

    Ola was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
