Cesar RuizG · 22h agoKnee · Back Oct 25 · 22h ago | Questionable | Knee | Oct 25 | Ruiz was knocked out of Sunday's game against the Giants early after suffering a knee injury, but it looks like there's still a chance he could be available in Week 7. His activity at practice will be worth keeping an eye on when New Orleans begins preparing for the matchup later in the week. |

Kool-Aid McKinstryCB · 2d agoMigraine · Back Oct 25 · 2d ago | Questionable | Migraine | Oct 25 | McKinstry exited Sunday's contest after experiencing a sudden onset of a migraine. Until there is a more definitive update, he should at least be considered questionable for the Week 7 meeting with the Steelers in Paris. If McKinstry can't suit up for that one, Quincy Riley is a candidate for more snaps. |

Quincy RileyCB · 2d agoNeck · Back Oct 25 · 2d ago | Questionable | Neck | Oct 25 | Riley suffered a neck injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest. Coach Kellen Moore seemed confident the cornerback is okay, but Week 7 preparation should offer more insight on the injury. |
Jordyn TysonWR · YesterdayHamstring · Strain · Right · Back Oct 25 · Yesterday | Injured Reserve | Hamstring · Strain · Right | Oct 25 | Tyson has been sidelined since mid-August due to a right hamstring strain, but the Saints' decision to include him in their travel party to France could be a sign that his 21-day practice window will be opened this week. While Tyson would have a chance at making his NFL debut against the Steelers if he practices this week, the Saints may prefer to hold him out through their Week 8 bye to give him additional time to heal. Whenever he makes his way back from injured reserve, the No. 8 overall pick in the draft could immediately push Devaughn Vele for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart at receiver behind Chris Olave. |
Alvin KamaraRB · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | The veteran RB left the game in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, but he was cleared to return and connected with Tyler Shough for a 31-yard score in the third quarter. Kamara's seven touches were well behind Kendre Miller's 22, but his 69 scrimmage yards were just one shy of Miller's 70 for the team lead. The duo will split backfield duties for at least one more game in Week 7 against the Steelers, before Travis Etienne (hamstring) will be eligible to come off IR after a Week 8 bye. |
Bryce LanceWR · 22h ago22h ago | Active | — | — | Lance's four targets were tied with Alvin Kamara for third most on the Saints behind Chris Olave (seven) and Devaughn Vele (six), with quarterback Tyler Shough completing only 16 of 30 passes. Both of Lance's catches came in the second quarter, the second of which was a two-yard touchdown that tied the game up at 10-10 with five seconds left in the first half. Lance's 36 offensive snaps were third most among New Orleans wide receivers, but his time as the team's WR3 could come to an end as soon as Week 7 against the Steelers on Oct. 25, given that rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson (hamstring, IR) is traveling with the team to Paris, per NewOrleans.Football. |
Chris OlaveWR · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | While he didn't see his usual volume on an afternoon in which Tyler Shough threw for only 144 yards, Olave was on the other end of one of the QB's three scores, hauling in an 18-yard TD early in the fourth quarter that proved to be crucial after the Giants staged a late, but unsuccessful, rally. Olave got double-digit targets in each of the first four games of the season, but over the last two contests he's been targeted just 13 times, posting an 8-89-1 line. He'll look to regain some steam in Paris for a Week 7 matchup against the Steelers. |
CJ DonaldsonRB · 20h ago20h ago | Active | — | — | It appeared as though Donaldson found the end zone on a one-yard carry midway through the third quarter for what would have been the first touchdown of his NFL career. Unfortunately for the undrafted rookie, the call on the field was reversed, so it was quarterback Tyler Shough who snuck in for the touchdown on the next play. Donaldson proceeded to lose a fumble in the fourth quarter -- leading to a Giants touchdown six plays later -- and he didn't log another carry after that. Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) has been sidelined for each of the Saints' last three games, and during that span, Donaldson has operated as the team's RB3 behind Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller. The Saints will travel to Paris for a Week 7 tilt against the Steelers on Oct. 25. |
Colby WoodenDT · 5d ago5d ago | Active | — | — | — |
Daniel CarlsonPK · 20h ago20h ago | Active | — | — | Carlson made field goals from 51 and 58 yards while missing a 55-yard kick in the second quarter. Despite the miss, the kicker accounted for 10 of the Saints' 34 points and displayed a strong leg throughout the contest. |
Devaughn VeleWR · 22h ago22h ago | Active | — | — | Vele was on the field for 66 of the Saints' 70 offensive snaps (94.3 percent), which was well ahead of fellow wideouts Chris Olave (42) and rookie Bryce Lance (36). Vele has seen at least six targets in each of the first six games of the regular season, and his 28-294-2 line on 43 targets already surpasses his totals across 13 regular-season games in 2025 (25-293-2 on 40 targets). Given his snap count, it wouldn't be surprising if Vele maintains his role in the offense even if Jordyn Tyson (hamstring, IR) returns, which could come as soon as Week 7 against the Steelers on Oct. 25 in Paris. |
Jeremiah WrightG · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | The rookie fourth-rounder was unavailable for the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Vikings while in the league's concussion protocol. Wright has been cleared from protocol by an independent neurologist, and his return gives the Saints more depth on the offensive line. |
John Ridgeway IIIDT · YesterdayYesterday | Active | — | — | — |
Juwan JohnsonTE · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | Johnson went without a catch in a regular-season contest for the first time since Week 3 of the 2024 campaign. The tight end had reeled in at least three passes in each of the team's first five games of the year. Over the last two weeks, Johnson has caught four of seven targets for 16 yards, and his next chance to get back on track will come in Week 7 against the Steelers in Paris. |
Kendre MillerRB · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | Alvin Kamara missed time in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, and while he was able to return and make an impact as a pass catcher, Miller led the Saints in rushing yards and touches with 22. The 70 yards also represented his best total since Week 18 of his rookie season in 2023. With Travis Etienne (hamstring) not eligible to return until after a Week 8 bye, Miller should split reps in the backfield with Kamara once again in Week 7 against the Steelers in Paris. |
Lorenzo Styles Jr.S · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | — |
Mike ReidCB · YesterdayYesterday | Active | — | — | — |
Tyler ShoughQB · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | While he didn't produce much yardage, Shough kept the Saints' offense humming, connecting with Bryce Lance, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave for scores through the air while adding a one-yard touchdown on the ground in the third quarter. Shough has been playing through a couple broken bones in his non-throwing hand, which could help explain why he has just 242 passing yards over the last two weeks, but the second-year QB showed he can be plenty productive despite the injury. Shough will take a 12:5 TD:INT through six games into a Week 7 tilt against the Steelers in Paris. |
Tyree WilsonDE · 5d ago5d ago | Active | — | — | — |
Vernon BroughtonDT · 4d ago4d ago | Active | — | — | Broughton was a full practice participant Friday, which was enough for him to shed an injury tag for Sunday's contest. He has six tackles (one solo), one forced fumble and a fumble recovery across four regular-season games. |
Zach WilsonQB · YesterdayYesterday | Active | — | — | — |
Zach WoodLS · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | Wood missed the Saints' last four games while on injured reserve due to a calf strain. He's been cleared to return Sunday and will resume his duties as the team's long snapper. |
