Shaheed underwent a full repair of his meniscus Thursday and will miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Saints placed Shaheed on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, ruling him out for at least four games. But not long after, Schefter reported that Shaheed's recovery timeline will be 4-to-6 months. Shaheed thus will turn his focus to getting healthy for the 2025 campaign. With Chris Olave (concussion) out Thursday against the Broncos, New Orleans' receiving corps will be composed of Mason Tipton, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Equanimeous St. Brown and Jermaine Jackson.

Shaheed underwent a full repair of his meniscus Thursday and will miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Saints placed Shaheed on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, ruling him out for at least four games. But not long after, Schefter reported that Shaheed's recovery timeline will be 4-to-6 months. Shaheed thus will turn his focus to getting healthy for the 2025 campaign. With Chris Olave (concussion) out Thursday against the Broncos, New Orleans' receiving corps will be composed of Mason Tipton, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Equanimeous St. Brown and Jermaine Jackson.
The Saints placed Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Shaheed thus will miss at least the next four games, but the meniscus surgery that he's undergoing Thursday in Los Angeles ultimately will determine if he has a chance to return to the Saints' active roster this season. If he ends up having a full repair, he'll be out for the rest of the campaign.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Shaheed (knee) is slated to undergo surgery to address a meniscus injury and may be placed on injured reserve, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Shaheed thus will join Chris Olave (concussion) as out for Week 7 action, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the former's procedure will determine if he misses multiple weeks or even the rest of the campaign. With their top two wide receivers sidelined for at least Thursday's contest, the Saints will turn to Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson (ankle) and Bub Means at the position, while Equanimeous St. Brown, Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and Jermaine Jackson are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.
Shaheed (knee) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. With Shaheed set to go down as a non-participant on both of the Saints' first two Week 7 injury report, he'll likely need to log some activity at Wednesday's practice to have a chance at playing Thursday against the Broncos. The Saints could have a depleted receiving corps versus Denver, as top wideout Chris Olave (concussion) didn't practice Tuesday either and appears unlikely to be available Thursday.
Shaheed, who was listed as a non-participanton Monday's practice estimate, is getting his knee checked out to determine the severity of the injury he sustained in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Per Underhill, there's some concern Shaheed could miss time, but more will be known in that regard after the wideout's knee gets evaluated further. With Chris Olave dealing with a concussion, the status of the Saints' top WRs is a concern for the team ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos. If neither of them are able to face Denver, added opportunities would be available for Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson (ankle) and Bub Means (hand).
Shaheed (knee) was a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Neither Shaheed nor Chris Olave (concussion) would have practiced had the Saints held drills Monday, which is a significant development with Thursday's game against the Saints right around the corner. Shaheed added to his outstanding start to the season with a punt return touchdown in Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers, but he caught only one of seven targets from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who is in line for another start in place of Derek Carr (oblique). Bub Means (hand) was a full participant on Monday's estimate, while Cedrick Wilson (ankle) was limited.
Shaheed brought in one of seven targets for 11 yards, rushed once for two yards, returned one kickoff for 25 yards and ran back two punts for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. Shaheed and rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler could barely connect during the latter's first taste of NFL action, with the speedy wideout's robust target tally going almost completely for naught. However, Shaheed still found a way to contribute for fantasy managers in leagues that factor in return production, as he put together an impressive return on his kickoff runback and then rattled off a 54-yard punt-return touchdown early in the second quarter for New Orleans' first trip to the end zone on the afternoon. Despite the inefficiency, the fact Rattler often looked Shaheed's way is encouraging, and the duo could therefore be due for more success in a Week 7 Thursday night home battle against the Broncos.
Shaheed (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Shaheed was a limited participant Thursday and Friday, after being listed as questionable on Wednesday's practice estimate. Avoiding an injury designation suggests he's expected to occupy his usual role, but that may prove less fruitful for fantasy managers with rookie Spencer Rattler replacing an injured Derek Carr (oblique) under center.
Shaheed (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Shaheed made a brief appearance at the media-access portion of Thursday's session, but it was enough for him to go down as limited after opening Week 6 prep with a DNP. He told Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football on Thursday that his hip injury is "minor," and he expects to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers. Nonetheless, Shaheed may enter the weekend with a game designation, something that will be revealed, one way or another, on Friday's practice report.
