The New Orleans Saints acquired WR Ja'Lynn Polk and a seventh-round selection in the 2028 NFL Draft from the New England Patriots Saturday, Sept. 13, in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: In late August, Polk underwent shoulder surgery and is out for the year. The 2024 second-round pick was in danger of making the Patriots final roster if he was healthy. Now, Polk gets to rehab with his new team with a fresh start in 2026. The Saints have been looking for wide receiver help for some time, as evidenced by this trade and the move to get Devaughn Vele from the Broncos earlier this summer. |
New Orleans Saints S Julian Blackmon (shoulder), G Trevor Penning (toe), and DL Chase Young (calf) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers.

RB Velus Jones Jr. (knee), LS Zach Wood (elbow), and S Jordan Howden (oblique) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

New Orleans Saints S Julian Blackmon (shoulder) is feared to have suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder during the Week 1 game, and is undergoing tests to see if he will need season-ending surgery, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Footballguys view: Blackmon, 27, has already recently suffered a torn labrum, having undergone surgery to repair it in January. But this injury is to a different part of the same labrum and may require season-ending surgery. A Colts third-round pick in 2020, Blackmon joined the Saints in July on a one-year deal. He's recorded 10 interceptions and 22 passes defended in his 67 career games. |

New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed hauled in six of his nine targets for 33 yards in Week 1 versus the Arizona Cardinals.
Link to storyNew Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave caught seven of 13 targets for 54 yards in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Footballguys view: Olave, who suffered multiple concussions last season, was hit hard during the fourth quarter. The Saints said that he suffered a chest injury and was considered questionable to return, but he quickly returned to the game. Could the volume he saw here become the norm? Spencer Rattler attempted a career-high 46 passes despite the score remaining fairly close the whole way. Olave will look to stay on the field and continue building chemistry with Rattler in a Week 2 home game against the 49ers. |
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 76 yards in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Footballguys view: Johnson was Spencer Rattler's second favorite target after Chris Olave, and he was more productive on his double-digit target load. He'll be a top tight end pickup in PPR leagues and should be considered a fantasy TE1 next week against the 49ers. |

New Orleans Saints OG Trevor Penning (toe) and DE Chase Young (calf) did not practice on Friday Sept. 5, and have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. S Jordan Howden (oblique) was a limited participant all week and is listed as questionable. DT Khristian Boyd (hand) and CB Alontae Taylor (groin) were full participants on Friday and have been removed from the injury report.
Footballguys view: The Saints already seemed to be outgunned against the Cardinals on paper, and now they will be down one of their best pass rushers and a starting guard. James Conner and the Cardinals running game should put their stamp on this one. |

The New Orleans Saints waived WR Kevin Austin, PK Charlie Smyth, TE Treyton Welch and RB Marcus Yarns on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Link to storyThe Saints have made a QB decision, as they have announced that Spencer Rattler will be their Week 1 starter.
Footballguys view: Head coach Kellen Moore has praised the work done by second-rounder Tyler Shough, who now heads to the bench. Asked why he went with Rattler, Moore said, "He's just been consistent. He's made some really good decisions throughout this whole process, and his ability to make plays with his arm and his feet has certainly shown up." Rattler started six games for the Saints and played in seven of them. He threw for 1,317 yards, four touchdowns, five interceptions, and completed 57 percent of his passes. He'll obviously need to fare well keep Shough on the bench. |
