ADAM TRAUTMAN NEWS

Catches two passes in loss Trautman hauled in two of three targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Trautman tied his season high in targets despite playing fewer than 20 offensive snaps for the second game in a row. The 25-year-old has also caught a pass in each of his last six games, hauling in all but two of his 12 targets over this span. While Trautman has been a consistent short-yardage receiver in the Saints' limited passing offense, his overall production will remain capped while playing behind top tight end Juwan Johnson.

One catch in return Trautman gathered in his lone target for eight yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat to the Ravens.

Impact Trautman caught one pass for eight yards during his return from a two-week layoff due to an ankle issue. However, the tight end still played his second-fewest offensive snaps (18) of the year, ahead of only the game in which he was injured. While the 25-year-old could see his playing time increase as he puts the ankle issue further behind him, he still figures to slot in behind Juwan Johnson in usage. As a result, don't expect Trautman to attract significantly more opportunities against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Cleared for Monday Trautman (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Ravens, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Trautman missed the previous two games with a troublesome ankle, but the 25-year-old is good to go for Monday. It's possible the Saints could rely on their tight end squadron a bit more with Michael Thomas (toe) done for the season, meaning Trautman, Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill may see significant playing time.

Limited again Friday Trautman (ankle) was a limited participant during Friday's practice.

Impact Trautman, who's missed the past two games with an ankle injury, has logged back-to-back limited practices to start Week 9 prep. He'll have one more opportunity to log a full practice before the Saints need to make a decision on his status for Monday's matchup against the Ravens.

Back in limited capacity Trautman (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact Since injuring his ankle Week 6, Trautman hadn't mixed into drills until Thursday's session, so he may be drawing close to a return to action. Even if he's able to suit up Monday versus the Ravens, though, he'd likely play second fiddle to fellow tight end Juwan Johnson as a receiving threat in the Saints offense.

Saints Inactives List Against Raiders: Adam Trautman, Carl Granderson Out Adam Trautman and Carl Granderson are among the Saints inactives for Week 8’s matchup against the Raiders.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Not playing Sunday Trautman (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Raiders.

Impact Trautman thus is missing a second straight game as he tends to a left ankle injury. Meanwhile, Juwan Johnson (hamstring) is available, setting the stage for him to be the Saints' primary receiving tight end Sunday. Trautman's next chance to play will arrive Monday, Nov. 7 versus the Ravens.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Vegas Trautman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact The same goes for Juwan Johnson, who caught two TD passes last week with Trautman sidelined but now is dealing with a hamstring injury. Trautman hasn't made a fantasy impact even when he's been healthy, mostly serving as a blocker while Johnson has handled most of the TE routes and targets.

Idle for practice Trautman (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Trautman has yet to resume practicing since suffering a left ankle injury in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Bengals, and unless he's able to get back on the field in some capacity Friday, he'll likely be ruled out for a second straight game this weekend against the Raiders. While Trautman was sidelined in the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Cardinals, Juwan Johnson stepped in as the team's top tight end and recorded five receptions for 32 yards and two touchdowns.

Not practicing Wednesday Trautman (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Trautman was unable to play in Week 7 due to an ankle injury and remains sidelined to start Week 8 prep. In his absence, Juwan Johnson secured all five of his targets for 32 yards and two scores. Trautman will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, but if he's ultimately sidelined again, Johnson figures to be the primary beneficiary.

Ruled out for Thursday Trautman (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against Arizona, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Trautman suffered the ankle injury in the team's Week 6 loss to the Bengals and was unable to practice during the short week ahead of Thursday's matchup. The tight end will turn his sights on preparing for Week 8, while Juwan Johnson will likely see increased snaps Week 7 as the Saints' No. 1 tight end.

Impact Trautman's absence from practice comes as little surprise after he departed Sunday's loss to the Bengals with a left ankle injury that will most likely keep him sidelined for the Saints' Week 7 game in Arizona on Thursday night, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Unless Trautman shows significant improvement and gets back on the field in some capacity Wednesday to put himself in position to play this week, Juwan Johnson should have a clear path to a big snap share at tight end.

May miss Thursday Trautman (ankle) is likely to miss Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Trautman suffered the injury in Thursday's loss to the Bengals. Despite attempting to return to the game, he ultimately ended up back in the locker room and unable to play. The injury is not expected to be serious according to Fowler, but the short week certainly is playing a role in his unlikely ability to play.

Impact After he was rolled up on in the second quarter, Trautman paid a visit to the locker room but came back with a heavy tape job on his left foot. However, he didn't last long before departing a second time. If he doesn't reenter the contest, he'll finish Week 6 with one catch (on one target) for eight yards.

Suffers foot injury Sunday Trautman exited Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a foot injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact Trautman was rolled up on in the second quarter and needed assistance to get to the sideline. After visiting the blue medical tent, he emerged without a shoe on his left foot and was carted to the locker room. It's unclear if Trautman will be able to return, but if he doesn't he'll end Week 6 with one catch (on one target) for eight yards.
