Moreau, who suffered a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, will have to undergo surgery, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Moreau was carted off the field after sustaining a blow to his leg late in Sunday's matchup. It's still unclear what the injury he suffered is, or if he is in danger of missing any time next season. The 27-year-old still has one year left on his contract, although there is likely no guarantee he'll be in a Saints uniform next season.
Moreau reeled in all four targets for 31 yards before sustaining a knee injury during Sunday's 27-19 defeat versus the Buccaneers. Moreau went down after sustaining a blow to his leg, and he was carted to the locker room late in the fourth quarter. Saints coach Darren Rizzi said postgame that the tight end suffered a knee injury, but he did not elaborate on the nature or severity of this issue, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. Moreau suited up for all 17 games this season, finishing with 32 catches for 413 yards and five touchdowns. His numbers never jumped off the page this season, but he was a solid complement opposite tight end Juwan Johnson, who recorded a 50-548-3 season stat line. Moreau joined the Saints on a two-year, $12 million contract in March of 2023. With the team likely to undergo a reset this offseason, it's unclear if Moreau will be back in New Orleans for the 2025 campaign.
Moreau caught three of five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Raiders. The Saints' top two tight ends, Moreau and Juwan Johnson, combined for a 9-113-1 line on 15 targets -- volume that was due to rookie QB Spencer Rattler being under center, as well as the fact that the team's wide receiver room has been gutted by injuries. Moreau could be leaned on again in Week 18 against the Buccaneers, especially with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) being the latest WR to go down for New Orleans.
Moreau secured two of three targets for 33 yards in the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers on Monday night. Moreau's yardage total was a team-high figure on a night where Spencer Rattler threw for only 153 yards. Moreau also tied fellow tight end Juwan Johnson and Dante Pettis for the team lead in receptions, and he'll carry a five-game streak of multiple catches into a Week 17 home matchup against his old Raiders squad.
Moreau posted four catches (on four targets) for 39 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-19 defeat versus the Commanders. Moreau once again saw moderate action in the passing game as he logged four targets for the third time in the last four contests. This time, the sixth-year pro nearly secured the game-winning score when he caught a one-yard touchdown as time expired in the fourth quarter. But, the Saints' comeback attempt came up just short, as quarterback Spencer Rattler failed to connect with Moreau's fellow tight end Juwan Johnson on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt. Moreau has now totaled 23 catches (on 31 targets) for 302 yards and four touchdowns this season. He should continue to split playing time with Johnson during next week's game versus Green Bay on Monday, Dec. 23.
Moreau reeled in both of his two targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 14-11 win against the Giants. Moreau made one of the standout plays of Sunday's game, catching a pass one-handed and in stride over the middle before running for a 32-yard gain. The 250-pound tight end has already surpassed his season-long production from last year, but he's still logged more than two catches in just two games this season and has not recorded a touchdown since Week 9. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Juwan Johnson recorded four catches on five targets along with an 11-yard touchdown reception Sunday. Moreau and Johnson should continue to split targets as the top two tight ends for the Saints moving forward. Their next game will come versus the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Moreau (shoulder) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) have both had a cap on their practice reps heading into Sunday's road matchup at New York, but neither will carry an injury designation into the weekend. In the wake of Taysom Hill (knee) sustaining a season-ending ACL tear, Moreau and Johnson have attained increased fantasy upside as the top remaining playmakers in New Orleans' tight end corps. In standard scoring formats, though, both Moreau and Johnson will still likely be touchdown dependent options.
Moreau (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Both Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) have operated with a cap on their practice reps so far this week, so Friday's injury report will reveal who among the duo may be cleared ahead of the weekend. Moreau and Johnson are the top options to handle TE reps for the Saints the rest of the campaign after Taysom Hill tore his ACL this past Sunday versus the Rams.
Moreau (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. With Taysom Hill out for the season due to a torn ACL, Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) are in line to handle most of the TE reps for New Orleans moving forward. However, both players have kicked off Week 14 prep with a cap on their practice reps. Sessions on Thursday and Friday likely will determine whether one or both of them enter the weekend with designations ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.
