Saints WR Rashid Shaheed scheduled for meniscus surgery on Thursday

New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed is expected to travel to Los Angeles, CA, to undergo meniscus surgery on Thursday, according to Saints HC Dennis Allen. A timetable for his return is currently unknown, as it will be determined during the surgery whether he needs a full repair or just a trim.

Dennis Allen said WR Rashid Shaheed will be headed out to LA to have surgery, and he has no time frame after that.

Allen was asked if there was a possibility that we see Shaheed land on IR, to which he responded, “There’s a chance.” If a full repair of the meniscus is needed, that would mark the end of the former Pro Bowler’s promising 2024 season.

This is a significant blow for New Orleans, as Shaheed was currently leading the team in receiving yards (349) and receiving touchdowns (3), while also trending toward another All-Pro season as a return specialist. The former Weber State Wildcats star has been one of the most lethal big-play threats in all of football since entering the league as an UDFA. He’s recorded 10 career touchdowns of 40+ yards, the second most in the NFL since 2022, behind none other than Miami Dolphins star WR Tyreek Hill.
