The New Orleans Saints placed cornerback Kyle Wilson on the injured reserve list.

Wilson was selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the New York Jets, and was signed by the Saints in April 2015. The 27-year-old recorded 27 tackles and an interception in 15 games last season.

In a corresponding move, the Saints signed defensive tackle C.J. Wilson. Wilson split last season between the Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions, but was released by the latter in February.

The veteran defensive lineman won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in his rookie year.
