Saints Place Rashid Shaheed on Injured Reserve

The New Orleans Saints have made significant roster changes ahead of their game against the Denver Broncos, placing All-Pro return specialist Rashid Shaheed on injured reserve due to a knee injury and subsequently elevating wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown from the practice squad. Shaheed underwent meniscus surgery following a recent injury, and his absence will impact the team's receiving corps, already missing Chris Olave and other key players. St. Brown, who has experience with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, will join a group that includes rookies and veterans with limited production. The Saints are also dealing with numerous injuries among starters, including quarterback Derek Carr and tight end Taysom Hill. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers reported minor injury updates, with some players returning to practice as they prepare for their game against the Houston Texans, highlighting ongoing challenges with player health across the league.
