Rashid Shaheed - Page 9 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Scores on first NFL touch Shaheed played nine of the Saints' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals, carrying once for a 44-yard touchdown and failing to haul in his lone target.

Impact Signed off the practice squad Saturday, the undrafted receiver out of Weber State stepped in for his NFL debut Sunday while the Saints were without their top three receivers (Michael Thomas, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry). Though Shaheed helped fill in for those players to some degree, he mainly served as a replacement for Deonte Harty (foot), who had been the Saints' top return man as well as a depth option at wideout before landing on injured reserve Saturday. Shaheed logged 26 return yards on the day, but he made his biggest imprint on the game just two minutes into the second quarter, when he took his first NFL touch to the house for a touchdown. Shaheed may be used as a gadget player on offense while he remains on the 53-man roster, but he's not likely to see enough usage to emerge as a bankable fantasy option.

Joins active roster Shaheed was signed to the Saints' active roster Saturday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact The Saints are poised to have a shorthanded receiving corps, with Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals. With Deonte Harty (foot) also sidelined, it's possible that Shaheed will serve as both a depth receiver and returner on special teams.

Candidate to join active roster There's a possibility that Shaheed could receive a promotion to the Saints' 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact New Orleans' returner Deonte Harty suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks, leaving Shaheed in consideration for the vacated special teams role. In addition, Michael Thomas (foot) has missed each of the last two contests, rookie Chris Olave suffered a concussion Sunday versus Seattle, Jarvis Landry (ankle) didn't suit up in Week 5 and Kawaan Baker has one more game remaining regarding his six-game suspension. With all the questions looming around the team's WR corps, Shaheed could see his first NFL action Sunday against Cincinnati.

Moves off NFI list Shaheed passed his physical Monday and was activated off the Saints' active/NFI list, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's an encouraging sign for Shaheed, who had missed training camp up to this point with an undisclosed injury. He'll look to impress his coaches this preseason as he competes for a depth role in the Saints' wide receivers room, but the holder of the FCS record for career kick-return touchdowns could also sneak onto New Orleans' initial 53-man roster as a returner.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Shaheed was placed on the non-football injury list Tuesday due to an unspecified issue, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Shaheed will likely miss the beginning of training camp and won't be able to take part in practices until he's activated. The Weber State product joined the Saints as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft and will be vying for a depth role at receiver.

Signs with NO as UDFA The Saints signed Shaheed as an undrafted free agent Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Shaheed finished his collegiate career at Weber State as the FCS all-time leader in kick-return touchdowns. He'll likely compete with Deonte Harty for kick-return duties in 2022, though Harty is expected to have the advantage after signing a $4 million RFA tender this offseason.
