Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Avoids injury report
Shaheed (toe/foot) wasn't listed on the Saints' injury report Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
After tending to hamstring tightness in the first two weeks of August, Shaheed has been managing a toe/foot injury since then. Both head coach Dennis Allen and Shaheed himself expressed optimism about the third-year wideout being available for Week 1. Now that his status is confirmed ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Panthers, Shaheed will be looking to improve upon his 46-719-5 receiving line over 15 appearances in 2023.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Feels ready for regular season
Shaheed (toe/foot) returned to practice this week and said he "didn't lose a step" despite missing a substantial portion of training camp, Darrion Gray of USA Today reports.
Shaheed said "I stayed on top of everything that I needed to throughout the rehab process," indicating that he'll be fully up to speed with New Orleans' offense Week 1 versus the Panthers. It remains to be seen whether Shaheed has yet resumed practicing in full, but it seems like the third-year pro is on track to play in the Saints' regular-season opener on Sept. 8. Shaheed looks primed for a crucial role behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave, but he could be deployed somewhat differently this season under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Spotted at practice
Shaheed (toe) was present for practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
While the extent of his participation is unclear, Shaheed's presence in any capacity is a good sign for the Saints with 11 days to go before their season opener against Carolina. He's dealt with a toe/foot injury for the past couple weeks, after missing time with a hamstring injury early in training camp.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Should be fine for Week 1
The Saints expect Shaheed (toe) to be ready for Week 1 against Carolina, Brandon Thomas of New Orleans Football Network reports.
Shaheed missed most of training camp and the preseason, first dealing with a hamstring injury and now a toe issue. He excelled as a return specialist and deep threat during his first two NFL seasons, but his role may be different under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, especially because the Saints lack wideout talent behind No. 1 receiver Chris Olave. Possibilities for 2024 include Shaheed getting more short/intermediate targets and/or fewer touches on special teams.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Remains out for preseason finale
Shaheed (toe/foot) did not play in Sunday's 30-27 preseason loss to the Titans.
Shaheed's absence did not come as a surprise after he missed the team's previous exhibition with an unspecified toe/foot injury. Even if he were healthy, it's likely that the 6-foot speedster would not have played Sunday, as the vast majority of New Orleans' starters also sat out. Saints coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Shaheed to be out long with this injury. The soon-to-be 26-year-old logged career highs with 46 catches for 719 yards and five scores across 15 regular-season games last year. He'll have two weeks to return in time for the regular-season opener against Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Shouldn't miss extended time
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that he doesn't believe Shaheed's toe/foot injury will keep him out for long, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Shaheed missed a week and a half of training camp earlier in August with a hamstring injury and has now been out since Friday due to the lower-body injury. Johnson reports that Shaheed's injury isn't turf toe, and while Allen's assessment is encouraging for the wideout's Week 1 availability, it would be surprising if he plays in Sunday's preseason finale against the Titans.
