Warring had a workout with the Giants early in the week, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Warring signed a contract with the Saints on May 24 but was waived less than a month later. He was a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and he hasn't yet been able to make an impact at the NFL level. Warring notched three catches for 35 yards in 2020 with Houston but hasn't hauled in a pass since. He saw limited NFL time with the Bills and Jaguars last year.

Saints' Kahale Warring: Inks deal
Rotowire
Warring signed a contract with the Saints on Tuesday.
Warring bounced between the Colts, Bills and Jaguars last season, appearing in two games but failing to record any stats. A 2019 third-round selection of the Texans, Warring had what would have been his rookie season wiped out by injuries, while also missing significant time in 2020. Warring will need to prove he can stay healthy and have a strong showing in camp to crack the Saints' roster.

Texans' Kahale Warring: Untargeted in finale
Rotowire
Warring was not targeted and played seven snaps in Houston's season-ending loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Warring saw his first NFL action in 2020 after spending his rookie 2019 season on injured reserve. The Texans like his athleticism -- he was selected in the third round of the 2019 draft -- but he struggled to pick up the offense and played just 52 snaps over seven games. He's under contract through 2022, but a new general manager and head coach may not see the same value that a previous regime did. The Texans also have veterans Jordan Akins and Darren Fells under contract for 2021, so there may be little opportunity for Warring if he is retained next season.

Texans' Kahale Warring: Makes first NFL catch
Rotowire
Warring caught two of two targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Colts.
Warring made his first catches in the NFL, including a nice 23-yard grab in tight quarters. "He ran good routes," quarterback Deshaun Watson told John McClain of the Houston Chronicle about Warring. "He's strong with the ball in his hands. He's a guy you have to continue to get reps with and build confidence." The second-year tight end has struggled to pick up the offense, but he hasn't played all that much, so the Texans may try to integrate him more over the final two weeks.

Texans' Kahale Warring: Struggling to learn offense
Rotowire
Warring is not getting much playing time because he's still learning the offense, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
With the Texans out of playoff contention, the final three games might be a good time to feed Warring, a 2019 third-round draft pick. He missed his entire rookie season while on injured reserve and hasn't been given much opportunity in the three weeks since being added to the active roster. "I think he's a good, young talent," interim head coach Romeo Crennel said. "He's got size (6-5, 252), strength, and he wants to try to be good. He's still learning, and that's the thing you notice. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it could be better." Crennel's comments suggest Warring is still figuring out the offense and needs to avoid mental errors.

Texans' Kahale Warring: Limited snap count in loss
Rotowire
Warring did not catch his only target in six snaps during Sunday's 26-20 loss to Indianapolis.
Warring did not see a big uptick in playing time after Pharaoh Brown left the game with a concussion. Instead, the Texans allotted more snaps to Jordan Akins (45), while Warring was on the field for only six plays. In the two weeks since coming off injured reserve, Warring has zero catches on two targets over 10 snaps.

Texans' Kahale Warring: Targeted in win
Rotowire
Warring played four offensive snaps and was targeted once in Thursday's 41-25 win over Detroit.
The Texans dressed four tight ends and threw just 25 times, limiting opportunities for Warring and the rest of the position group. Houston's tight ends were targeted just three times, the group's second fewest of the season. This was just the second game in two seasons for Warring, who has been dogged by injuries since Houston selected him in the third round of the 2019 draft. As the postseason is unlikely, interim head coach Romeo Crennel may want to experiment and see more of Warring in the final five weeks.

Texans' Kahale Warring: Improves as a route runner
Rotowire
Coach Bill O'Brien said Tuesday that Warring (hamstring) "has improved and is a good route runner," Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
Warring missed a handful of practices due to a hamstring injury earlier this month, but he looked good upon retaking the field Tuesday. The 2019 third-round pick spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve, but his 4.61 speed makes him an intriguing developmental option in Houston's crowded tight end corps.
