Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The New Orleans Saints are set to receive yet another devastating blow to the offensive side of the ball, with wide receiver Rashid Shaheed scheduled to have meniscus surgery ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Denver Broncos.
Shaheed, who has made one explosive play after the other including a 54-yard punt return touchdown last week, was hurt late in the fourth quarter last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It was reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that Shaheed’s availability for the rest of this season will be determined during his surgery. Whether Shaheed will need a full repair done to his knee or just a trim decides if his season is already over.
Shaheed will be heading to Los Angeles for his procedure tomorrow which means we’ll likely be updated on status within the coming days. Nevertheless, it’s a huge hit to an already depleted receiver room with Chris Olave also out with a concussion this week.
