Rashid Shaheed back at practice

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed returned to individual drills in Thursday's practice, according to insider Nick Underhill. Shaheed had been sidelined since August 5 but is seemingly on track to be available for the season opener. He'll start the year as New Orleans' No. 3 WR behind Chris Olave and Michael Thomas.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, so he shouldn’t be limited in this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. Shaheed is an upside WR4 option and will get a boost if WR Chris Olave misses with his ankle injury.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. We'll keep you updated on Shaheed's status over the next few days.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Shaheed “has a chance” to return for next week’s game vs. the Giants. We’ll keep you updated on his status this coming week.

Saints insider Nick Underhill confirms that WR Rashid Shaheed (groin) will not play vs. the Panthers on Sunday. Shaheed's quad injury is "more serious than initially believed," Underhill adds. "Initially thought to be a contusion, a second opinion showed it is more serious." It sounds like there's a good chance that Shaheed misses more time beyond Week 14. He's droppable in most redraft fantasy leagues.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He didn’t practice all week, so fantasy owners certainly shouldn’t count on him in Week 14 lineups. We’ll get New Orleans’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
