Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed’s season is over.
The Saints placed Shaheed on injured reserve today, and they were reportedly still hoping that surgery would reveal a relatively minor knee injury. Instead, according to multiple reports, doctors did a meniscus repair and determined that Shaheed will need 4-6 months to recover.
We’re less than four months away from the Super Bowl, so that ends Shaheed’s season.
That’s a major disappointment, as Shaheed’s season is off to an excellent start. He has 20 catches for 349 yards and three touchdowns and is also leading the NFL with a 15.9-yard average on punt returns and averaging a solid 28.5 yards on kickoff returns.
Originally an undrafted rookie out of Weber State in 2022, Shaheed has become a major playmaker for the Saints. They’ll now have to wait until 2025 for the next big play he makes.
