New Orleans Saints Injury Report Heading Into Week 7

Let’s take a look at some of the injuries the New Orleans Saints have dealt with throughout the 2026 NFL season, looking at both sides of the ball and who is out short- and long-term.

The Saints enter Week 7 with a 2-4 record and will travel to Paris to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in what is one of the most anticipated international games this season.

Notable Injuries Throughout the Season

The Saints have dealt with a few major injuries this season, mainly affecting the offensive side of the ball. Running back Travis Etienne Jr. was placed on injured reserve after Week 3 with a hamstring injury. It’s still unclear when Etienne will return, but Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller have picked up some of the slack in his absence.

The Saints’ 2026 first-round pick, wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, has also yet to play a game this season after suffering a hamstring strain during a joint practice back in August. Tyson is currently rehabbing from his injury and could feature during the second half of the season.

Their 2025 first-round pick, offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., is also on injured reserve after suffering a severe high-ankle sprain in Week 2. Banks underwent ankle surgery and is currently out indefinitely.

Lastly, defensive tackle Bryan Bresee suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee during the Saints’ first training camp practice in late July.

Week 7 Injury Updates

Guard Cesar Ruiz has been dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. He returned as a limited participant Friday but is officially questionable for Sunday’s game.

Running back Alvin Kamara was also limited in all three practices this week because of a back injury, but he carries no injury designation against Pittsburgh.
