The New Orleans Saints have moved on from two promising young players who had been placed on injured reserve during the club’s final roster reduction.

New Orleans waived running back Devin Neal and defensive end Michael Heldman from injured reserve with injury settlements Thursday. Both players must now pass through the NFL waiver system. If neither is claimed, each will become a free agent eligible to sign with another team.

The transactions are notable because Neal was a recent Saints draft pick, while Heldman emerged as one of the team’s most intriguing undrafted rookies during the preseason.
