Nephi Sewell - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Cleared to play Week 11 Sewell (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Sewell is in line to make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday. He started the season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from a torn ACL injury he suffered in December of 2023. Sewell's ability to practice in full all week prompted his activated from the PUP list Saturday, and he will provide depth at linebacker behind starters Pete Werner, Demario Davis and Willie Gay.

Activated off PUP ahead of Week 11 The Saints activated Sewell (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sewell suffered an ACL injury in Week 17 of the 2023 regular season, and his recovery prompted the Saints to place the 27-year-old on the PUP list at the start of the regular season. He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, but if he's cleared to play, Sewell would give the Saints depth at linebacker, which is timely considering starter Pete Werner (hand) is considered a game-time decision.

Impact Sewell has been on the Saints' reserve/PUP list since the start of the regular season while working his way back from an ACL injury from Week 17 of the 2023 season. While he was able to practice in full all week, he appears to need more time before returning to action. Sewell's next opportunity to make his 2024 regular-season debut will be against the Browns in Week 11.

Unavailable to open season Sewell (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Saints on Tuesday.

Impact Sewell is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 17 of the 2023 season and he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker will be first eligible to return in Week 5 against Kansas City on Oct. 7.

Starts camp on active/PUP The Saints placed Sewell (knee) on the active/PUP list Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sewell suffered a torn ACL in Week 17 last season and isn't yet 100 percent. Undrafted out of Utah in 2022, Sewell has appeared in 20 games for the Saints over the last two seasons, mainly focusing on special teams. He'll likely fill a similar role in 2024.

Season ends early Sewell suffered an ACL injury, which will require surgery, in the Saints' win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sewell will now focus on prep for surgery, as opposed to New Orleans' Week 18 opponent, the Falcons. The Utah product's second NFL season will come to an end with 16 games played, 15 tackles (11 solo) and a forced fumble while mostly covering on special teams. It's not clear what type of ACL injury specifically Sewell is dealing with, or if he's in danger of missing most of or any of the 2024 campaign.

Plays well in first start Sewell recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 33-28 loss versus the Lions.

Impact Week 13 was the first time Sewell played more than seven defensive snaps in a game as a pro (40), so he predictably also posted a career-high tackle total. The size of his role in Week 14 will still probably depend on the availability of 2021 second-rounder Pete Werner (oblique).
