Coach Dennis Allen revealed after Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers that Holker sprained his ankle in pregame warmups, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports. It was previously reported that Holker sustained an injury in warmups, and Allen clarified the nature of the rookie tight end's issue. Holker will try to recover in time to suit up for New Orleans' preseason finale against the Titans on Sunday, Aug. 25.
Holker tweaked something in warmups for Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers and won't play as a result, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak reports. This is a disappointing development for Holker, who had been in line for plenty of playing time in the preseason with starting tight end Juwan Johnson (foot) recovering from surgery. Holker will try to recover in time to face the Titans in the Saints' preseason finale next Sunday.
Holker, who signed a one-year contract with $235,000 guaranteed with the Saints after the 2024 NFL Draft, is a name to monitor with Juwan Johnson (foot) in need of surgery, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Holker's odds of earning a roster spot improve substantially with Johnson facing a long period on the sidelines, and not being a guarantee to be ready for Week 1. Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill will likely handle the majority of first-team reps this offseason with Johnson recovering, but neither are a perfect match for his pass-catching role. Holker, though, is a clear move tight end and racked up a 64-767-6 receiving line in his senior season at Colorado State.
