Isaac Yiadom - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Set for Week 8 return Yiadom was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Yiadom has been sidelined since Week 5, but he practiced in full Friday. That indicated he was nearing a return, which should now come in Week 8 against Tampa Bay.

Won't play Week 7 Yiadom (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Yiadom was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery from a hamstring injury to return for Week 7. His absence means Quincy Riley will continue to see extended work out of the nickel cornerback position. Yiadom's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Could return in Week 7 Yiadom (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Despite practicing in full Friday, Yiadom is still is jeopardy of missing third consecutive game due to a hamstring issue. The ninth-year pro has tallied 16 total tackles through four appearances with New Orleans this season. If active, he's likely to start as the team's No. 1 slot corner.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Yiadom (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Impact The cornerback missed Wednesday's session as well as the last two games. Yiadom now appears on the right track ahead of Sunday's clash with the Bears. The slot corner recorded 16 tackles (11 solo) across New Orleans' first four games.

Still sidelined by hamstring Yiadom (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Impact Yiadom missed his second straight game in Week 6 due to a lingering hamstring injury, and now his availability for Week 7 is also in doubt. He'll probably need to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up Sunday at Chicago.

Sidelined for Week 6 Yiadom (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact The veteran cornerback from Boston College logged consecutive DNPs to open the Saints' week of practice and is now in line to miss his second game in a row Sunday. Yiadom appeared in each of New Orleans' first four contests this season, recording 16 total tackles across 140 defensive snaps. Rookie fourth-round pick Quincy Riley is expected to draw his second start at slot corner in Yiadom's stead.

Sidelined to begin week Yiadom (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Impact Yiadom was sidelined for New Orleans' Week 5 win over the Giants. His inability to practice Wednesday isn't encouraging, but he'll have the chance to ramp up his activity as the week progresses toward Sunday's matchup against New England.

OCTOBER 5 • Associated Press

Won't play against NYG Yiadom (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Per Paras, Yiadom sustained a hamstring injury during practice this past week. The injury prevented Yiadom from participating in practice Thursday and Friday, and the 2018 third-rounder will not take the field for Week 5 as a result. Quincy Riley has seen the field on defense in each of the last two games, and he figures to be the top candidate for an increased role in the secondary Sunday in Yiadom's absence. Week 6 against the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 12 is Yiadom's next opportunity to play.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Yiadom was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Yiadom may have picked up the injury during the Saints' Week 4 loss to the Bills, when he logged three tackles (one solo) while playing just 21 snaps (12 on defense, nine on special teams). He didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to log a limited session Thursday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on Yiadom's chances of playing against the Giants on Sunday in New Orleans. Rookie fourth-rounder Quincy Riley played a season-high 24 snaps on defense in Week 4 and would likely see even more playing time Sunday if Yiadom is not cleared to play.

New Orleans Saints, cornerback Isaac Yiadom agree to three-year deal The New Orleans Saints agreed to a three-year deal with free agent cornerback Isaac Yiadom, his agency, Vayner Sports, announced Thursday.

MARCH 13 • SACBEE.COM

Signs with New Orleans Yiadom agreed to a three-year, $9 million deal with the Saints on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The seventh-year veteran is heading back to New Orleans, having spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Saints. The deal includes $4.86 million guaranteed with a maximum value of $10.5 million. Yiadom, who played well in limited exposure with the 49ers last year, is expected to provide some versatility to a secondary that at minimum needs some depth, if not outright flexibility to move a preferred option, whether that be Alontae Taylor, or a projected draft pick, into the starting slot.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ties career high in total tackles Yiadom accumulated 46 tackles (38 solo), six pass defenses (including one interception), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact Yiadom joined the 49ers in March of 2024 on a one-year, $1.3 million contract after spending the past two seasons with the Saints and Texans. The 2018 third-round pick managed to tie his career high in combined tackles that he set in 2020 with the Giants. However, Yiadom's snap count on defense was inconsistent throughout the year, and he failed to log at least 10 defensive snaps in four of the final five games of the regular season. The veteran will enter the offseason as a free agent and will look to join a team in need of veteran depth in the secondary.

Able to suit up in Week 18 Yiadom (pelvis) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Yiadom dealt with a pelvis issue throughout the week and was deemed questionable on San Francisco's final injury report Friday. However, he's feeling well enough to be able to suit up for the team's final game of the 2024 season. Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder) is inactive Sunday, which could result in Yiadom getting more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 18 Yiadom (pelvis) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Yiadom injured his pelvis during the 49ers' loss to the Lions this past Monday. He was able to log consecutive practices to end the week which earned him the questionable tag heading into Sunday's regular-season finale. With Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder) already ruled out, Rock Ya-Sin would be in line to step into a starting role in the 49ers' secondary if Yiadom is unable to play.
