The Saints entered Thursday’s game dealing with a slew of injuries. Derek Carr was missing his second game after suffering an oblique strain while the wide receiver duo of Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed were also ruled out. Olave is dealing with a concussion and Shaheed underwent season-ending knee surgery after a meniscus injury. As if that wasn’t enough, offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz and linebacker Pete Werner were also ruled out.

Shaheed, 26, was a big playmaker for the Saints in 2024. Through six games, the Weber State alum caught 20 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns. Shaheed was named to his first Pro Bowl and selected to the All-Pro First Team in 2023 as a punt returner. He averaged 13.6 yards per return and ran back one punt return touchdown last year.

The Broncos demolished the Saints on Thursday Night Football, 33-10. The Broncos jumped out to a 13-3 lead in the first half and piled on the points in the second half for the easy win.
