Drops down to practice squad White reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions log.
Impact White hauled in his lone target of the game for 38 yards, which was enough to lead his team in receiving on the way to a 36-27 victory. He also recorded a tackle on punt coverage.

Makes first catch since 2018 White secured his only target for 38 yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact The Saints opened the second half with a bomb to White, who made his first reception since 2018. The 2015 No. 7 overall pick could have had another long gain but Trevor Siemian was sacked before he could throw it. However, with Tre'Quan Smith back in the fold and Michael Thomas (ankle) potentially returning in the near future, it's not clear how many more opportunities Smith could see going forward. In addition, the potential long-term absence of Jameis Winston (knee) takes away the best chance New Orleans has at establishing a consistent long-range passing attack.

Quiet in debut White failed to secure either of his two targets in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.
Impact White was elevated from the practice squad Monday, but he was unable to make the most of his limited opportunity. The wideout played on just eight of the team's 74 offensive snaps, the lowest for any Saints' wide receiver. Production will likely be hard to come by for the veteran if he is able to stick to the active roster. White can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Joins depth-starved wideout corps The 49ers elevated White from their practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact White and River Cracraft will be joining San Francisco as designated replacements for fellow receivers Kendrick Bourne, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, all of whom were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list a day earlier. The absences of those three players leave Trent Taylor and Richie James (ankle) as the only other wideouts on the 49ers' 53-man roster, and James, who is listed as questionable, isn't considered a lock to play. Regardless of James' status, both White and Cracraft look poised to see a fair amount of snaps at receiver out of necessity.
