Saints claim OT Mason Murphy, DT Colby Wooden off of waivers

The Saints went the waiver route to add players on both sides of the line of scrimmage on Monday.

They were assigned offensive tackle Mason Murphy and defensive tackle Colby Wooden off of the waiver wire.

Murphy signed with the Bears after going undrafted this year. Murphy started games at right tackle and center for Auburn last year and he also made 22 starts during four seasons at USC.

Wooden was a Packers fourth-round pick in 2023 and he started 16 games for Green Bay last year. He was traded to the Colts for linebacker Zaire Franklin in March, but failed to make it through cutdown day with the AFC South team.
