Marquez Valdes-Scantling injury update and status vs. the Raiders in Week 17 | Dec. 29, 2024 The Week 17 matchup for Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the New Orleans Saints has them going head to head against the Las Vegas Raiders at 1:0...

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • USATODAY.COM

Status in question for Week 17 Valdes-Scantling (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Valdes-Scantling operated with a cap on his practice reps this week, which was a step up from his lack of activity last week before he was deemed inactive Monday in Green Bay. He isn't dealing with an illness anymore, but a chest injury has lingered, placing a cloud over his status for Week 17. Valdes-Scantling's availability, or lack thereof, will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Another limited listing Valdes-Scantling (chest) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Valdes-Scantling has cobbled together back-to-back limited listings on the injury report this week, giving him only one more chance to get back to full participation Friday before the Saints potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Raiders. If he's able to suit up this weekend, Valdes-Scantling may be welcoming back Chris Olave (concussion), who remains on injured reserve but practiced fully Thursday.

Limited listing Wednesday Valdes-Scantling (chest) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Impact This marks Valdes-Scantling's first listing that isn't DNP since Week 15 prep, signaling he's made some progress through the chest injury and illness that combined to sideline him Monday versus the Saints. He'll have two more chances this week to join Chris Olave (concussion) as a full participant, or otherwise risk heading into a second game in a row with a designation.

Inactive for MNF Valdes-Scantling (chest/illness) is listed as inactive Monday at Green Bay.

Impact Valdes-Scantling kicked off Week 16 prep with a DNP last Thursday due to a chest injury, but he remained out of practice as of Friday due to an illness and eventually was listed as questionable for Monday's game. With Valdes-Scantling's lack of availability confirmed, the Saints will be rolling with Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis, Cedrick Wilson and Mason Tipton at wide receiver.

No practice, questionable for Monday Valdes-Scantling (chest/illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Packers.

Impact Valdes-Scantling initially didn't practice Thursday due to a chest injury and then didn't participate in either of the two subsequent ones presumably thanks in some part to an illness, which was tacked on to Friday's injury. It remains to be seen if Valdes-Scantling will be active in the matchup against the team that drafted him, but with Chris Olave (concussion) and Bub Means (ankle) both ruled out, the Saints are woefully thin at wide receiver.

Comes down with illness Valdes-Scantling (chest) didn't practice Friday due to an illness, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact After Valdes-Scantling was held out of drills Thursday due to a chest injury, there was an expectation that he'd take part in some capacity one day later, but an ailment kept him off the practice field. Saturday's injury report will give a sense of the wide receiver's chances to suit up Monday at Green Bay.

Not practicing Valdes-Scantling (chest) isn't practicing Friday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Back-to-back absences hint at legitimate concern regarding his availability against the Packers on Monday. The short-handed Saints also have been practicing without QB Derek Carr (hand), RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) and WR Bub Means (ankle), potentially leaving the offensive burden on unproven players like QB Spencer Rattler, RB Kendre Miller and WR Kevin Austin. Their healthy wide receivers besides Austin are Dante Pettis, Cedrick Wilson and Mason Tipton.

Packers continue their push toward playoffs as they host the injury-riddled Saints

Dealing with chest issue Valdes-Scantling was a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to a chest injury.

Impact As the Saints open Week 16 prep, Valdes-Scantling was among a handful of skill-position players to sit out drills, including QB Derek Carr (left hand), RB Alvin Kamara (groin) and WR Bub Means (ankle, IR). Kamara is unlikely to play Monday at Green Bay, while coach Darren Rizzi said Thursday that Spencer Rattler will start if Carr isn't able to, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. With a health concern now in tow, too, Valdes-Scantling's status now will be monitored to see if he also may be in danger of missing Week 16 action.

Catches two passes Week 15 Valdes-Scantling gathered in two of seven targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 20-19 defeat versus the Commanders. He also logged one rush for four yards.

Impact Valdes-Scantling briefly exited to be checked for a concussion during the fourth quarter, but he returned for the final drive of the game. The veteran wideout did not record a catch on three targets while quarterback Jake Haener was under center during the first half. He then wound up catching two long passes from rookie Spencer Rattler, who took over coming out of halftime. After totaling four touchdowns in his first three games with the Saints, Valdes-Scantling has gone two games in a row without a score. But, he's logged seven targets in each of these contests, and he's averaged 16.5 yards per targets on 21 targets across five games with New Orleans. The Saints will next play versus Green Bay on Monday, Dec. 23.

Four grabs in Sunday's win Valdes-Scantling caught four of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.

Impact The veteran wideout led the Saints in receiving yards, just nudging out Juwan Johnson's 50, but it was the tight end who caught Derek Carr's only TD. The QB left the game late in the fourth quarter to be checked out for a concussion and a hand injury, and while Valdes-Scantling has an 11-283-4 line on 17 targets over the last four games, he'll likely have trouble finding the same success in Week 15 against the Commanders if Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler is under center for the Saints instead of Carr.

Stays hot with another TD Valdes-Scantling corralled two of three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

Impact Valdes-Scantling was the recipient of Derek Carr's only passing touchdown in a defensive battle with the Rams. MVS has been on a heater over his last three games, accruing 232 yards and four scores over that span. It is worth mentioning that the veteran receiver is averaging 2.3 receptions over his current hot streak, highlighting the all-or-nothing nature of Valdes-Scantling as a fantasy asset this season. He is worth starting against the Giants next Sunday and beyond until he cools off.
