INJURIES
Rashid Shaheed - Shouldn't miss extended time Coach coach Dennis Allen noted Wednesday that he doesn't believe Shaheed's toe/foot injury will keep him out for an extended length of time, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-P...
Impact Per Johnson, Shaheed -- who missed this past weekend's exhibition contest against the 49ers -- is not dealing with turf toe. While Allen's assessment is encouraging with regard the wideout's chances of being ready for Week 1 action, it does cloud his status for Sunday's preseason finale against the Titans.

Paulson Adebo - Past groin issue Adebo (groin) returned to full-team drills Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Adebo missed the last couple of weeks due to a groin injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The Stanford product finished his 2023 campaign with 76 total tackles and 18 passes defended, including four interceptions, across 15 regular-season games. He's expected to remain one of New Orleans' top cornerbacks in 2024.
AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Kendre Miller - Could start year on IR Miller (hamstring) may be placed on injured reserve to start the season, which would rule him out for the first four games, Jeff Nowak of WWLAM reports.
Impact It would allow the Saints to keep Miller around without using a roster spot on a young player that hasn't practiced at all this summer. The 2023 third-round pick had issues with his knee, hamstring and ankle as a rookie, and he's now been sidelined by another hamstring injury since making an early exit from the first practice of training camp. Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams figure to open the season atop the depth chart at running back, with the No. 3 role likely going to either Jordan Mims, James Robinson or a cutdown day waiver addition. Saints coach Dennis Allen has been critical of Miller's struggles to stay healthy this summer, removing much of the luster from a young RB that was a popular sleeper pick for fantasy not long ago.

NFL division supremacy: Ranking all 8 ahead of 2024 season
Alvin Kamara - Returns to practice Kamara (back) returned to practice Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Albeit a lighter practice, according to Matthew Paras of NOLA.com, Kamara's return is certainly a positive sign. He had been sidelined since Aug. 13 with back tightness. Given the veteran back's status as the team's No. 1 option in the backfield, it would not be surprising to see head coach Dennis Allen continue to exercise caution with his availability going forward in preseason competition.
AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Kool-Aid McKinstry - On track to play Week 1 McKinstry (knee) avoided serious injury in Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Impact McKinstry limped off the field after the Saints' first defensive drive in Sunday's contest before being taken back to the locker room. Further evaluation didn't reveal any significant issues, and the rookie second-round pick is expected to suit up for New Orleans' regular-season opener against Carolina on Sept. 8.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Juwan Johnson - Brought off PUP list The Saints activated Johnson (foot) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayunereports.
Impact Johnson has passed his physical and is expected to practice in some capacity Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. The veteran tight end has missed all of training camp to this point while recovering from mid-June foot surgery. Johnson likely isn't a candidate to get healthy in time for Sunday's preseason finale against the Titans, but he now has just under three weeks left to resume practicing in full ahead of New Orleans' regular-season opener against the Panthers on Sept 8.

Blake Grupe - Hits 52-yarder in loss Grupe went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone PAT in Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Impact Grupe hit a 52-yarder early in the third quarter, and he now gone 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after-tries this preseason. The second-year kicker also went back to handling almost the entirety of the Saints' kicking duties after first-year player Charlie Smyth hit the game-winning field-goal attempt in the team's preseason opener. While the latter kicker handled New Orleans' first kickoff of the second quarter, his scant usage seems to indicate that there isn't a legitimate kicking competiton going on here this preseason. The Saints will wrap up their preseason schedule this coming Sunday with a final exhibition against the Titans.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Haener - Third-string QB in preseason loss Haener completed seven of 13 passes for 76 yards during Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers. He also logged one rush for two yards.
Impact Haener was the first Saints' quarterback to follow starter Derek Carr during the team's preseason opener, but he flipped spots with rookie Spencer Rattler on Sunday. However, niether quarterback performed particularly well, as both failed to lead a touchdown drive against the 49ers. They also both played exactly 24 offensive snaps. With the competition for the No. 2 quarterback spot apparently at a dead heat, it's likely that New Orleans' final decision on this job should come down to the coming week's practices followed by the preseason finale against Tennessee on Sunday, Aug. 25.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Rattler - Struggles in preseason loss Rattler completed four of eight passes for 27 yards and logged three rushes for five yards during Sunday's 16-10 preseason defeat versus the 49ers. He also lost one fumble and was...
Impact Rattler seemingly took a step back after his strong preseason debut. The fifth-round rookie took over from starter Derek Carr midway through the second quarter, marking a change from the presason opener when second-year quarterback Jake Haener first followed Carr. But, Rattler off to a rough start right away when he was strip-sacked on his fourth snap of the game Sunday, and the Saints finished with three points across Rattler's four offensive series. Haener and Rattler wound up playing exactly 24 offensive snaps against San Francisco, though neither seemed to separate themselves with their performance. Therefore, the competition for the team's No. 2 quarterback spot should come down to the preseason finale versus Tennesse on Sunday, Aug. 25.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Kendre Miller - Remains out in preseason game No. 2 Miller (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Impact Miller has now missed each of the Saints' first two preseason games since injury his hamstring in late July. The 2023 third-round pick's continued absence has drawn increasing pressure from coach Dennis Allen, who reiterated Friday that it will be "challenging" for the running back to make the team if he's not practicing. While it's unlikely the team will move on from Miller this early in his career, he could certainly lose out on his opportunity to win the No. 2 running back spot over veteran Jamaal Williams this preseason. The 22-year-old Miller will look to get healthy in time for this coming Sunday's preseason finale versus the Titans.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Mims - Leading rusher in preseason loss Mims logged 10 carries for 37 yards during Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers. He also returned two kickoffs for 44 net yards.
Impact Mims logged his first carry when the team's starting offense was still in the game early in the second quarter. The 25-year-old also logged more touches and offensive snaps (21) than fellow backup running back James Robinson, who totaled seven touches on 18 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller continued to sit out after suffering a hamstring injury early in training camp. As long as Miller's absence continues, Mims and Robinson should be in primary contention for New Orleans' No. 3 running back spot heading into the regular season.

49ers vs. Saints Postgame Recap | 2024 NFL Preseason Week 2
AUGUST 20, 2024 • YOUTUBE
1st & 10: Game Recap, Takeaways from 49ers Preseason Win vs. Saints
AUGUST 19, 2024 • YOUTUBE
Cedrick Wilson Jr. - Starts against 49ers Wilson started Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers and caught one of two targets for five yards.
Impact Wilson and Chris Olave got most of the first-team snaps at wide receiver, with the former filling in for Rashid Shaheed (hamstring). It's a decent indication that Wilson is on track for the third or fourth spot on the depth chart, but he probably won't see a lot of targets even if he's on the field a good amount.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Taysom Hill - Gets work at RB Hill rushed five times for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the 49ers.
Impact Hill has already proved himself worthy as both a quarterback and a tight end, but he appears to be putting a focus being a runner this year. Gaining more roster flexibility is generally received well in fantasy, so Hill should be able to carve out a niche role for certain managers this campaign.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
A.T. Perry - Targeted six times Sunday Perry (ankle) had two receptions on six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the 49ers.
Impact Perry's numbers didn't jump off the scoreboard, but it was a positive sign to see the receiver back in action after suffering an ankle injury in the Saints' preseason opener. The sophomore will look to build on the momentum of racking up 109 receiving yards over New Orleans' first two preseason games.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Olave - Records three receptions Sunday Olave had three receptions on four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's exhibition loss to San Francisco.
Impact The Saints' No. 1 wideout looked the part in a brief appearance with the rest of the starters. Olave figures to be the focal part of the Saints' passing game with Michael Thomas departing New Orleans after seven seasons with the club. Derek Carr looked for his top target early and often before the starters departed Sunday. Olave will be shooting for his third 1,000-yard season in as many years since becoming a pro.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jamaal Williams - First back to see work Sunday Williams rushed five times for 32 yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's preseason tilt against San Francisco.
Impact Williams continues to start for the Saints while Alvin Kamara (back) heals in anticipation of the regular season. The latter is currently not in jeopardy of missing any meaningful time, so fantasy managers shouldn't fret over the lingering injury designation. That said, it wouldn't hurt to target Williams if you have shares of Kamara, roster space permitting. We have seen Williams produce in a starting role before, but the veteran would struggle to reach the amount of touches required if Kamara is ready to roll come Week 1.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Derek Carr - Sharp in second exhibition start Carr completed seven of nine pass attempts for 47 yards in Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Impact Carr fared better in his second preseason showing after completing just two passes last week against the Cardinals. The veteran failed to reach the 4,000-yard milestone for the second consecutive season in 2023 after achieving the feat four times in as many years prior. The 33-year-old doesn't offer the upside in fantasy he once did, but he is still a reliable starter with little competition at his position heading into Week 1.
