Officially elevated to kick Week 9

The Saints elevated Smyth from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Smyth is set to take over as New Orleans' kicker beginning with Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, so the elevation was a necessary move. He'll be replacing Daniel Carlson, who was released Tuesday. The Browns have had 19 field-goal tries against them this season, tied for eighth-most in the NFL, so Smyth could be busy in his 2026 debut.
