The former third-round pick has seven career starts across 43 appearances. Though primarily a backup during his time in New York, Peart has experience at both left and right tackle. He earned a single start, this time at right tackle, in the 2023 season. Peart will be a depth option for the Broncos.

Henderson wasn’t spotted during the portion of practice open to the media but apparently got on the field at some point later in the session. It’s a truly stunning development for Henderson, given that it was reported this morning that he is expected to miss multiple weeks. We still expect him to sit for Week 6, but even that isn’t guaranteed at this point. Henderson would likely be on a relatively strict pitch count if he plays, but his presence would, at a minimum, be a thorn in the side of Rhamondre Stevenson’s fantasy backers. This is officially an injury report to keep a close eye on throughout the week.

Hunter, a 2025 fourth-round pick with the Rams, was traded to the Dolphins earlier this year. He was recently waived. The Saints need help in the backfield with Travis Etienne (hamstring) on injured reserve. Hunter has long odds of meaningfully contributing, though he was an intriguing prospect.

Tyson was officially a non-participant to begin the week, as expected. Moore adds that Tyson is “progressing well,” and New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett said there is “an expectation that he’ll return to practice soon.” Tyson should be rostered in 12-team formats, but fantasy managers must, unfortunately, remain patient.

Benton suffered the ankle injury in Week 5 against the Colts. The Steelers defensive tackle, who signed a four-year, $72 million contract extension in August, has had a quiet season statistically while being double-teamed at the highest rate of any defensive tackle in the NFL. Benton missing time would be another blow to a defensive line already playing without second-year defensive tackle Derrick Harmon.

We expect Olave to be fine for the Saints’ Week 6 game against the Giants. There is currently no cause for concern, but this is worth keeping an eye on. Olave experienced blood clots in his lung last season, and spent much of the offseason recovering. We are not doctors and cannot opine on the matter. For now, expect him to play, but keep an eye out for his hopeful return to practice tomorrow or Friday.

Ramsey is playing through a broken wrist. He missed last Wednesday’s practice and wound up playing every defensive snap for the Steelers on Sunday. A Wednesday DNP appears to be the new norm for him. We fully expect Ramsey to play in Week 6.

Theo Johnson has a neck injury and was limited in practice. Both tight ends should be able to suit up on Sunday. Coming off a career-high in targets (13), Likely is looking more like a top-five fantasy tight end every week. He should be in every fantasy lineup for his Week 6 date with the Saints.

Moton is tentatively on track to make his return from injured reserve this week. Meanwhile, RT Monroe Freeling (knee) sat out on Wednesday. Panthers DT Tershawn Wharton (neck) is practicing in full, while EDGE Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) was limited.

Giants coach John Harbaugh said Carter is doing well, so it doesn’t seem like he’s at much risk of missing Week 6. Rookie corner Colton Hood, on the other hand, is in concussion protocol and didn’t practice today. He will likely miss Week 6 while he works his way through the protocol.

Eluemunor told reporters he felt his calf pop during Week 5 against the Commanders. He left the game and Marcus Mbow took his spot at right tackle. Head coach John Harbaugh called him day-to-day on Monday, so it’s at least not a long-term issue, though he still looks like a coin flip for Week 6. Left tackle Andrew Thomas did not practice, though that’s standard fare for him as he continues to play through a groin injury.
