Alvin Kamara Alvin Kamara Another limited session
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:04 PM
Kamara (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt this week due to a lingering back injury, Kamara has one more chance to get back to full Friday, at which point the Saints may tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants. Even if he's able to suit up this weekend, though, he's been in a tight timeshare with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson the last two games, turning his 17 touches into 64 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs. |
Chris Olave Chris Olave No practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 3:30 PM
Olave (illness) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: With no practice so far this week for Olave due to an illness, he has just one more chance to mix into drills Friday, or else he'll be at risk of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at the Giants. Through five contests this season, he has three 100-yard efforts to his name en route to cumulative 39-537-1 line on 54 targets. |
Designated to return from IR
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:22 PM
The Saints designated Wood (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Wood was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. The Saints now have until Nov. 4 to return the long snapper to the active roster, or he must spend the remainder of the 2026 season on IR. |
|
Unable to practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 6:40 PM
Elliss (calf) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Elliss has sat out the Saints' last two games due to a lingering calf injury, and his status for Week 6 now appears to be up in the air too. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a realistic chance of suiting up Sunday against the Giants. |

Alvin Kamara Alvin Kamara Remains limited by back issue
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 4:41 PM
Kamara (back) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: For a second straight week, Kamara is dealing with a back injury, but he was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Vikings, earning a 27 percent snap share and turning five touches into six yards from scrimmage. As for the rest of the backfield, Kendre Miller had 31 percent and 10 touches, while CJ Donaldson paced the group with 42 percent and logged five touches. None of the trio has stood out since Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on IR after Week 3, and Kamara's continued health concerns make him even less reliable for fantasy purposes on top of the current timeshare at the position. |

Chris Olave Chris Olave DNP due to illness
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 3:33 PM
Olave didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Olave is coming off a season-worst 4-46-0 line on six targets in this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but a stout defense and not a health concern was to blame. As Week 6 prep kicks off, his absence on a Wednesday with an illness isn't as worrisome as it could be not long before game day, and he at least has two more chances to practice Thursday and Friday to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants. |
Kendre Miller Kendre Miller Finds end zone in Week 5 loss
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 8:29 PM
Miller turned 10 carries into 30 yards and a touchdown during the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Miller averaged only 3.0 YPC during Sunday's loss, but his two-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter gave the Saints an early 7-3 lead, although New Orleans' offense generated only three more points the rest of the way. His 10 carries led the Saints' backfield that also includes CJ Donaldson (four carries) and Alvin Kamara (three), though Miller had only three rushes during the second half. Kamara dealt with a back issue during Week 5 prep, and if that issue continues to linger, then Miller could be the Saints' lead back for Week 6 against the Giants this Sunday. |
Noah Fant Noah Fant Only one catch in return
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 6:55 PM
Fant brought in his lone target for seven yards during the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Fant played 30 of 45 offensive snaps Sunday in his return from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury, which was one more than fellow tight end Juwan Johnson. Fant saw only one target from Tyler Shough, although the Saints' offense struggled as a whole against the Vikings' =defense under coordinator Brian Flores, with Shough averaging only 3.8 yards per pass attempt while tossing two interceptions. Fant has a 9-73-3 receiving line on 13 targets through four games heading into Week 7 against the Giants, whose defense has given up 33 catches to opposing tight ends this season, which is tied for fifth-most in the NFL. |
Jordyn Tyson Jordyn Tyson Not yet ready to practice
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 1:59 PM
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Tyson (hamstring) is "progressing well" but isn't on track to return to practice this week, Jeff Nowak of WWL New Orleans reports.
Analysis: Tyson has resided on injured reserve all season after sustaining a right hamstring strain during an Aug. 13 training camp practice. Though the rookie first-round pick hasn't hit any reported snags in his recovery, the Saints aren't yet ready to open his 21-day practice window. Adam Schefter of ESPN previously reported that Tyson wouldn't make his NFL debut until Week 7, but because the young wideout hasn't resumed practicing yet, a return to game action following the Saints' Week 8 bye is probably more realistic at this point. |
Daniel Carlson Daniel Carlson Misses PAT vs. Minnesota
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 10:17 AM
Carlson went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a quiet day for Carlson due to the Saints' struggles on offense. New Orleans' only touchdown of Sunday's game came on an 87-yard scoop-and-score by safety Jonas Sanker, though Carlson missed the point-after try that would have given the Saints a 14-13 lead late in the third quarter. Carlson has made one or zero field goals in four of five games this season and has not attempted a field goal in two of the Saints' last three games. He's 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-13 on extra-point tries heading in the Saints' Week 6 road game against the Giants on Oct. 18. |
Juwan Johnson Juwan Johnson Minimal output on four catches
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 7:14 PM
Johnson brought in four of five targets for 16 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran tight end tied Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele for the team lead in receptions, but given Tyler Shough threw for only 96 yards overall, Johnson couldn't generate any meaningful fantasy production with his quartet of catches. Johnson has recorded at least four receptions in four straight games, and despite Sunday's season-low yardage total, he's still compiled a solid 248 receiving yards and has five catches of 20-plus yards heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday. |
Devaughn Vele Devaughn Vele Quiet in Week 5 loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 7:08 PM
Vele secured four of six targets for 26 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Vele finished in a three-way tie with Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson for the team lead in receptions and also drew even with Olave for top slotting in targets. However, that meant little on a day when Tyler Shough was held to 3.8 yards per attempt by an aggressive Vikings defense and finished with just 96 passing yards overall. Vele's quiet afternoon notwithstanding, the third-year wideout has now seen at least six targets in each game and has impressively converted 14 of his 25 receptions into first downs. Vele will take a 25-252-2 line on 37 targets into a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday. |

Alvin Kamara Alvin Kamara Limited to five touches Sunday
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 5:17 PM
Kamara rushed three times for 12 yards and brought in both targets for minus-6 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Kamara dealt with a back issue during the practice week, and it's possible that helped lead to Kendre Miller outpacing the veteran back by seven carries. Kamara's minimal opportunity unsurprisingly led to a forgettable fantasy day overall, although the entire Saints offense was underwhelming against the vaunted Vikings defense. Given Sunday's division of labor, Kamara could continue losing some touches to Miller while Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) remains on injured reserve for a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday. |
Tyler Shough Tyler Shough Overwhelmed by Vikings in loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM
Shough completed 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Shough's final line underscores the duress he was under throughout the afternoon from an aggressive Vikings defense, even as he took just one sack. Shough nevertheless was intent on getting ball out quickly, leading to him averaging just 3.8 yards per attempt. The second-year quarterback's pair of interceptions didn't lead to any Minnesota points, but they did saddle Shough with his first multi-INT tally since Week 1. Despite Sunday's stumble, Shough and the rest of his teammates on the offensive side of the ball will have a good opportunity to bounce back in a favorable Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday. |

Chris Olave Chris Olave Victim of Shough's struggles Sunday
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 3:33 PM
Olave secured four of six targets for 46 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Olave found himself in the familiar position of either tying for the team lead or setting the pace for the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but the numbers he generated in each of those categories left plenty to be desired. His sub-standard production should be taken in context, however, considering Tyler Shough threw for only 96 yards at 3.8 yards per attempt and was picked off twice as well. Olave's numbers were easily season lows across the board, but he should have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday. |

Active in Week 5
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 12:00 PM
Styles (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: Styles logged three straight full practices after being activated from injured reserve Sunday. The 24-year-old will make his season debut against the Vikings. |
|
Ready for Week 5
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 11:59 AM
Ford (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: The Saints activated Ford from injured reserve Saturday. The linebacker has recovered from his ankle injury and is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest as a reserve inside linebacker. |
|
Won't play due to illness
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 11:58 AM
Broughton (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: Broughton remains ill and will not be able to suit up for Sunday's contest. Tyree Wilson is set to be the starting defensive end next to Davon Godchaux and Cameron Jordan. |
|
Active for Week 5
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 11:44 AM
Miller is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: Miller was a healthy scratch for the Saints' Week 4 loss to the Falcons on Monday Night Football. The defensive tackle is set to suit up for Sunday's contest, likely due to the absence of Nathan Shepherd (illness). |
|
Won't play with illness
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 11:40 AM
Shepherd (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: Shepherd will not suit up for Sunday's game due to an illness he contracted earlier in the week. The starting nose tackle for Sunday's contest will likely be Davon Godchaux. |
