Trautman (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Trautman was unable to play in the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Cardinals due to an ankle injury and remains sidelined to start Week 8 prep. In his absence last week, Juwan Johnson stepped in to serve as the Saints' primary tight end and 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.
