A.T. Perry

NO Wide Receiver #17

A.T. Perry (hand) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Panthers on Sunday.

Perry didn’t practice again Friday while dealing with his hand injury. The wideout could still line up against the Panthers for the season opener, but the back-to-back missed practices makes it unlikely. It was unlikely even if he was to go that he’d be a good bet for fantasy relevance, regardless of the injury status.
A.T. Perry

NO Wide Receiver #17

Saints WR A.T. Perry (hand) did not practice on Thursday.

This is a new injury for the Saints’ No. 3 WR. Details have yet to be released as to the severity and his projected recovery timeline so it remains possible he suits up for Week 1. A mid-week injury is never ideal though. Perry is unlikely to command a high target share even if healthy but the team is also likely to be without rookie TE Dallin Holker (ankle) who failed to practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Their potential absences push a few more targets toward the Saints’ top-heavy pass-catching corps, particularly No. 1 WR Chris Olave.
Marshon Lattimore

NO Defensive Back #23

Saints DB Marshon Lattimore (hip) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Lattimore has been dealing with a hip injury since training camp and was limited in Wednesday’s practice. On Thursday, the veteran corner was upgraded to a full participant and should be good to go for Sunday’s opener against the Panthers. Lattimore, 28, appeared in 10 games last season due to an ankle injury and has played in just 17 games over the last two seasons. Despite the injuries, the veteran corner remains solid in pass coverage for a Saints defense that ranked 10th in passing yards allowed last season.
Juwan Johnson

NO Tight End #83

Saints restructured TE Juwan Johnson’s contract.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis had just $1.4 million in cap space prior to the move. Johnson’s restructure frees up $3.5 million more, allowing Loomis to bolster depth as needed.
Spencer Rattler

NO Quarterback #18

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the Saints are “really, really high” on Spencer Rattler’s potential following his performance in training camp and the preseason.

In three preseason outings, Rattler threw for 202 yards and one touchdown while completing 52.6 percent of his passes, but his adjusted completion percentage of 69.7 factors out the three drops his receivers had. Rattler also ran seven times for 26 yards and another score. The rookie fifth-rounder could be challenging Derek Carr for snaps at some point in the season, but Carr remains entrenched as the starter for the time being. Under contract through the 2026 season, the Saints have every incentive to see things through with Carr, but any struggles through the midway point of the season could have Dennis Allen and company looking in Rattler’s direction.
Kene Nwangwu

FA Running Back

Saints waived RB Kene Nwangwu with a failed physical designation.

Nwangwu will revert back to waivers with his failed physical designation, giving other teams a chance to claim him if they so desire. The Saints claimed the RB/KR off waivers after he was let go by the Vikings earlier in the week, in hopes that he may eventually contribute in their return game. He’ll likely catch on with another team in the coming days.
John Ridgeway III

NO Defensive Lineman #91

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Commanders have traded DT John Ridgeway III to the Saints.

Schefter reports that the Saints will send the Commanders a 2025 sixth- round pick while New Orleans also receives a 2025 seventh-round selection. Ridgeway III played in all 17 games last year for Washington and finished with 31 tackles after procuring 24 of them in 15 appearances for the Commanders in 2023. The former Cowboy and fifth-round selection will provide depth in the interior for the Saints in 2024.
Kene Nwangwu

NO Running Back #26

Saints claimed RB Kene Nwangwu off waivers from the Vikings.

Nwangwu was waived Tuesday and finds a new home a day later. The 26-year-old fourth-rounder’s most likely contributions with the Saints will likely be on special teams as a returner, as he hasn’t shown he can be productive as a tailback yet.
Rashid Shaheed

NO Wide Receiver #22

WR Rashid Shaheed (foot/toe) “will be good to go” for the Saints’ game against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1.

The report comes from NewOrleans.Football’s Brandon Thomas. Shaheed suffered an unspecified foot and/or toe injury on August 16th after battling a hamstring strain before that. This is good news for the Saints’ new No. 2 wide receiver.
Dallin Holker

NO Tight End #85

Saints will keep TE Dallin Holker on the 53-man roster.

Holker earned an undrafted free agent contract after leading 2023 FBS tight ends in targets (105), receptions (64) and receiving yards (766). He is unlikely to hop Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill on the depth chart in year one but should be safely stashed on dynasty benches and monitored in deep, tight end-premium leagues.
