• Saints' Bub Means: Heads to injured reserve

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  The Saints placed Means (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. Getting diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain typically equates to a multi-game absence, and the Saints have made it official for Means, ruling him out for the next four contests. He'll be first eligible to return Sunday, Dec. 8 at the Giants, but for the time being he'll join fellow WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve.

• Saints' Bub Means: Out for Week 9

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Means (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Carolina, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. This was more or less expected after Means emerged from Week 8 action with a high-ankle sprain. With Means sidelined for at least one contest and Rashid Shaheed (knee) out for the season, the Saints' options at wide receiver behind Chris Olave are Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson (hip, questionable), Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson, while Equanimeous St. Brown, Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

• Saints' Bub Means: No practice Thursday

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Means (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. With a high-ankle sprain in tow, Means' lack of activity so far this week isn't unexpected, and the Saints could potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Carolina as soon as they post Friday's injury report. With Rashid Shaheed (knee) out for the season and Cedrick Wilson (hip) also nicked up this week, Chris Olave, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the healthy wide receivers on New Orleans' active roster.

• Saints' Bub Means: Sits out Wednesday

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Means (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. Means' absence doesn't come as a surprise after he was removed from this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers with a high-ankle sprain, which typically results in a multi-game absence. The rookie wideout's status will likely receive clarity by week's end, and there's also the prospect of fellow receiver Cedrick Wilson -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- missing time due to a hip injury. Currently, Chris Olave, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Johnson are the healthy options at the position on the Saints' active roster.

• Saints' Bub Means: Three catches in loss

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Means secured three of five targets for 37 yards in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. Means found himself in an expanded role with Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Taysom Hill (ribs) all sidelined, and he finished tied for second in receptions and fourth in receiving yards. The rookie fifth-round pick went without a catch for the first four games of his career, but he's now generated an 8-82-1 line on 13 targets over the last pair of contests. Means could be in for extra opportunity again in a Week 8 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 27 with Shaheed now ruled out for the season.
