Stowers, a touted athlete who transitioned from quarterback to tight end, struggled to make an impact in training camp with receiving and blocking, and the team now faces uncertainty at tight end while weighing veteran options after Week 1, including a potential Zach Ertz reunion.

Week 2 Preseason Sparks Fantasy Football Backups and Rising Rookies (2026)

Saints rookie Brock Rechsteiner hit with six-game PED suspension

Saints wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner has been suspended for the first six regular-season games of 2026 for violating the NFL-NFLPA PED policy; the league confirmed he is eligible for all preseason activities, and the suspension begins after the Aug. 30 roster-cut deadline. Rechsteiner, an undrafted free agent, was a long shot to make the 53-man roster but could land on the practice squad, and his situation comes as New Orleans navigates roster changes following Bryan Bresee’s knee surgery and Ja'Lynn Polk’s retirement.
