  • Not expected to be tendered

    The Saints are not expected to tender Callaway, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Callaway has totaled 1,069 yards and seven touchdowns in three years with the Saints and was set for restricted free agency this summer, but the undrafted wideout will be free to sign anywhere he wants if his contract isn't tendered. Fowler added that a return to the Saints could still be in the cards if Callaway can't find a better deal elsewhere, but for now, the 6-foot-2 speedster appears on his way out of New Orleans.

  • Set to hit restricted free agency

    Callaway failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 10-7 loss versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: Callaway suited up for the regular-season finale after being ruled a healthy scratch in three of the previous seven games. However, his season-low eight offensive snaps was still the fewest of any Saints wide receiver Week 18. The third-year wideout previously served as one of the team's top pass catchers when Michael Thomas (toe), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) were all sidelined in mid-October. However, Callaway then was crowded out with Olave available for all but one of…read more

  • Healthy scratch again

    Callaway is inactive for Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Callaway was the team's No. 2 receiver at one point earlier this season and got some snaps last week with Chris Olave sidelined by a hamstring injury, but this isn't the first time Callaway has been a healthy scratch. Olave is back in this week, and likely joined by Rashid Shaheed and Tre'Quan Smith as the lead trio at wide receiver. Callaway thus loses out to Kirk Merritt and Keith Kirkwood, both of whom seemingly offer more special-teams value.

  • Targeted once in loss

    Callaway did not haul in his lone target during Monday's 17-16 loss versus the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Callaway has fallen out of the Saints' wide receiver rotation, as he's now seen just two total targets while being a healthy scratch twice in the last four weeks. While he appeared to have a chance at a bigger role after Kevin White was waived last Monday, Callaway wound up playing just two more offensive snaps in Week 13 than core special-teamers Tre'Quan Smith (11) and Kirk Merritt (11), the latter of whom was just elevated from the practice squad. Rashid Shaheed has seen his playing time…read more

  • Won't play Sunday

    Callaway (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Callaway was also a healthy scratch Week 10, and although he suited up Week 11 against the Rams, he only saw one target, which he caught for a six-yard gain. He'll now work to be active Week 13 against the Buccaneers.

  • One catch in return

    Callaway reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 27-20 win versus the Rams.

    Analysis: Callaway saw a minimal role in the Saints' resurgent passing game Week 11. The 6-foot-2 wideout did not benefit from quarterback Andy Dalton's best passing stat line of the season, as he was targeted fewer than three times for just the second game in his last seven appearances. Callaway also tied his lowest number of offense snaps played (21) from this span. After being ruled a healthy scratch with veteran wideout Jarvis Landry back in the lineup Week 10, Callaway appears set to play a deep…read more

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    Callaway (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: With Jarvis Landry (ankle) back in the lineup, Callaway is taking a seat for the first time this season. His absence will open up targets not only for Landry, but fellow wide receivers Chris Olave, Tre'Quan Smith, Kevin White and Rashid Shaheed. Callaway's next chance to mix into the Saints offense arrives next Sunday against the Rams.

  • Commands five targets

    Callaway recorded three receptions on five targets for 24 yards in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Callaway continued to command targets in the absence of Jarvis Landry (groin), as he has now earned at least five looks in four of his last six games. However, as has typically been the case, Callaway did little with the opportunity. His longest reception went for only 12 yards, and he has now failed to surpass 36 yards in any of his last five games.

  • Minimal role in win

    Callaway gathered in his only target for 10 yards on 21 offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-0 victory over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Callaway logged his fewest offensive snaps, targets and receptions since Week 3, even though Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) remained out Sunday. The 6-foot-2 receiver caught 10 of his 22 targets for 114 yards over the previous four weeks, but he tied for sixth in targets in this contest, and he also played fewer offensive snaps than fellow wideouts Tre'Quan Smith (38), Chris Olave (37) and Kevin White (30). Callaway's diminished role may indicate that he's fallen down the…read more

  • Limited to pair of grabs Thursday

    Callaway secured two of six targets for 20 yards in the Saints' 42-34 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Callaway had a forgettable night overall despite the continued expanded opportunity afforded by the absences of Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle), as his drop led to the first of two late-first-half pick-sixes of Andy Dalton. Callaway finished tied for third on the team in targets and now has at least six in three of the last four games. However, that's led to single-game highs of just three catches and 53 yards, and if one or both of Thomas and Landry are healthy enough to return…read more

  • Steps up into No. 1 spot

    Callaway caught three of seven targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 30-26 defeat against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Callaway paced the Saints' wide receiver corps in targets and offensive snaps with starters Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) all out due to injury Sunday. However, the 24-year-old still finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Tre'Quan Smith (43 yards) and tight end Juwan Johnson (41 yards). With primary returner Deonte Harty (foot) on IR, Callaway also fair caught one punt while splitting those duties with undrafted rookie Rashid Shaheed.…read more

  • Starting role on tap again

    Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith served as the Saints' top receivers during walk-through drills ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: After handling 96 and 72 percent snap shares in Week 4 and 5, Callaway looks primed for a similar level of playing time Sunday. Fellow wideouts Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) are sidelined for their third and second game in a row, respectively, while rookie first-round pick Chris Olave is inactive after he was unable to clear the concussion protocol. Additionally, the Saints are without another depth wideout in Deonte Harty (foot), who was recently moved to injured reserve. Of…read more

  • Handles punts in win

    Callaway caught two of his three targets for five yards and returned two punts for 25 yards during Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: With Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) both inactive Sunday, Callaway wound up playing the most offensive snaps (56) of any Saints wideout, as Chris Olave was forced out with a concussion in the third quarter. However, the 24-year-old Callaway made his biggest impact on special teams after stepping in for primary punt returner Deonte Harty, who exited early with a turf toe injury. Callaway fielded five punts, including three fair catches, and had a 21-yard return in the third…read more

  • Steps up into starting role

    Callaway caught three of his six targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: After failing to haul in his lone target during the first half, Callaway caught all three of his passes on the Saints' opening drive of the third quarter. The third-year pass catcher also recorded his team's longest play from scrimmage with a 33-yard reception down to Minnesota's eight-yard line. Callaway played the most offensive snaps (58 of 60) of any Saints wide receiver with Michael Thomas (foot) ruled out Week 4, as fellow starters Chris Olave (41) and Jarvis Landry (38) were both limited…read more

  • Notches late-game score

    Callaway caught a four-yard touchdown on his lone target over 13 offensive snaps during Sunday's 22-14 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: Callaway made the most of his limited offensive opportunities Week 3, as he hauled in a pass for a score from quarterback Jameis Winston with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. However, the third-year wideout played his fewest offensive snaps in a game the season, as Tre'Quan Smith made his 2022 debut before exiting with a concussion. Callaway also appeared on six special-teams snaps against the Panthers, though he could see a bigger role Week 4 after starting wideouts…read more

  • Active Sunday

    Callaway may be the Saints' return man Sunday against the Panthers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Callaway was seen fielding punts during warmups. The team's usual return man, Deonte Harty, is a healthy scratch. This is a role Callaway had at times during his rookie season with the team, but it had not carried over since.

  • Not targeted once again Sunday

    Callaway did not record a target during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers. He played 17 offensive snaps and four special-team snaps.

    Analysis: Callaway failed to make an impact as a receiver for the second straight week. Though fellow wideout and return specialist Deonte Harty played fewer offensive snaps (11), he still managed to haul in his lone target for nine yards. Callaway's overall snap share suggests that he should continue to vie with Harty for the team's No. 4 receiver spot while Tre'Quan Smith deals with a nagging shoulder injury.

  • Non-factor Sunday

    Callaway was not targeted while playing 20 offensive snaps during the Saints' 27-26 victory against the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Callaway lined up out wide on 33 percent of New Orleans' offensive plays during this season opener. Still, Saints quarterback Jameis Winston opted to direct his 34 passing attempts, including 24 in the second half, to other receivers during the team's comeback win as Jarvis Landry, Michael Thomas and rookie first-rounder Chris Olave accounted for all but one of the team's wide receiver targets Sunday. It's likely that Callaway will continue to see a lack of opportunities as long as the…read more

  • Returns for minicamp

    Callaway (thumb) participated in June minicamp, the Saints' official website reports.

    Analysis: Callaway had thumb surgery early in the offseason, but there weren't any reports of limitations at spring practices. His bigger concern for this year is a beefed-up WR room that now has Jarvis Landry and first-round pick Chris Olave joining Callaway, Michael Thomas (ankle), Deonte Harty and Tre'Quan Smith. There's still some opportunity for Callaway to earn a top-three spot on the depth chart -- especially if Thomas isn't ready for Week 1 -- but the 24-year-old Callaway could just as easily…read more

  • Recovering from thumb surgery

    Callaway had offseason surgery on his thumb, Nader Mirfiq of Rare Media Live reports.

    Analysis: Callaway has plenty of time to recover before training camp, at which point he'll likely be in the mix for the Saints' second or third wideout spot. Michael Thomas is expected to come back as the far-and-away No. 1, with Callaway and Deonte Harris the current favorites to earn key roles behind Thomas among the team's holdovers from 2021. While he fell far short of the summer hype, Callaway did finish last season with a respectable 46-698-6 receiving line on 84 targets, making him the leading…read more

  • Underwhelming production in 2021

    Callaway caught 46 of 84 targets for 698 yards and six touchdowns over 17 games in 2021.

    Analysis: With Michael Thomas (ankle) on the shelf all season, Callaway consistently handled heavy snap counts for New Orleans both before and after Tre'Quan Smith made his season debut in Week 7. However, the 6-foot-2 receiver only ran a route on 53 percent of his snaps and he was only targeted on 19.5 percent of his routes - less than each of Deonte Harris, Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram, Ty Montgomery and Adam Trautman. While Callaway still put together a couple of nice games this year, this underwhelming…read more

  • Nearly hits century mark

    Callaway caught six of 10 targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: He very nearly topped 100 yards for the second time in the last three games, but Callaway had to content himself with being Taysom Hill's top option in the passing game. His developing chemistry with the QB -- Callaway has a 16-255-0 line on 24 targets over those three games -- bodes well for his chances of another big performance in Week 18 against the Falcons, as the Saints will be trying to claim a wild-card spot.

  • Four catches in blowout loss

    Callaway caught four of five targets for 46 yards during Monday's 20-3 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Callaway was the Saints' best source of offense in the first half, catching three balls for 42 yards despite the rest of the Ian Book-led offense doing next to nothing. However, he was unable to overcome extra defensive attention that ensued once Tre'Quan Smith (chest) was knocked out of the game. While Callaway would be cemented as New Orleans' No. 1 wideout if Smith can't play in Week 17 against Carolina, we now have proof that all Saints' skill players will have a dangerously low floor if…read more

    Callaway caught six of nine targets for 112 receiving yards in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Callaway was the lone skill position player for either team to eclipse the century mark in what turned out to be a defensive showdown. The 23-year-old finally broke free for a big 40-yard leaping reception in the second half after the Saints offense dinked and dunked for the majority of the contest. This was Callaway's first 100-plus yard receiving game this season, and he totaled just 47 yards in his previous two games with Taysom Hill under center, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to…read more

  • Another quiet game

    Callaway caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-9 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Callaway hasn't reached 40 receiving yards in a game since Week 5, and he's seen exactly four targets in each of the last five games. He'll be a touchdown-dependent, boom-or-bust option against the Buccaneers in Week 15, having found the end zone six times this season despite the modest target volume.

  • One catch against Dallas

    Callaway caught one of four passes for 13 yards during Thursday's 27-17 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Callaway continues to command a large snap share and subsequently run a lot of routes, but the Tennessee product has topped five targets in only three games this year. This lowly workload has made him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, and things are unlikely to get better with the dual-threat Taysom Hill (finger) playing through a torn ligament in a finger on his throwing hand.

  • Touchdown streak ends

    Callaway caught two of four targets for 24 yards during Thursday's 31-6 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Callaway was targeted on both short and deep passes, but he was unable to find the end zone for the first time since Trevor Siemian took over at quarterback. Making matters worse was that Callaway again was held below six targets, three receptions and 37 receiving yards with Siemian under center. Unless the Saints make some sort of change at quarterback, Callaway will be hard to trust as anything more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy asset.

  • Makes most of one catch

    Callaway brought in one of four targets for a 26-yard touchdown in the Saints' 40-29 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: Callaway saved his fantasy day with his scoring grab, which came at the start of the fourth quarter and marked the Saints' first score since early in the second quarter. The second-year wideout hasn't topped 40 receiving yards since Week 5, but he's now recorded a touchdown reception in three consecutive contests. Callaway's next assignment is a tough one, considering New Orleans hosts the Bills for a Thanksgiving showdown in Week 12.

    Analysis: Callaway lost out on targets to both Tre'Quan Smith and Mark Ingram, though he salvaged his day with a 15-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter to bring the Saints within two. His only other catch on the day came earlier on that same drive when he gained 22 yards deep down the sideline.

    Callaway caught three of six targets for 25 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Callaway had a seventh target that he dropped, but the play was nullified by a penalty. Even if it had counted, Callaway still wouldn't be averaging five targets per game on the year. While this modest volume was worth a roll of the dice when Jameis Winston (knee) was available, losing Winston for the season was a blow to Callaway's outlook, even if the indefinite absence of Michael Thomas (ankle) means Callaway won't have to share the top of the depth chart. Whether it's Trevor Siemian or…read more

    Callaway caught three of five targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Now seven games into the year, Callaway has topped 50 receiving yards just twice. Things won't get any easier if Jameis Winston (knee) is forced to miss time, as New Orleans is likely to revert to a highly run-heavy gameplan if Taysom Hill (concussion) or Trevor Siemian needs to run the offense. Combined with the return of Tre'Quan Smith and the impending return of Michael Thomas (ankle), it wouldn't be surprising if Callaway's huge Week 5 performance against Washington goes down as an anomaly…read more

    Analysis: Callaway got open in the back of the end zone on New Orleans' first scoring drive, but a Seattle linebacker was able to knock the ball down on its way to Callaway, forcing the Saints to settle for a field goal. He led all Saints wide receivers in catches, targets and receiving yards, as running back Alvin Kamara (128 receiving yards and a touchdown) was the only New Orleans pass-catcher that was able to get going in this one.

  • Finds end zone twice

    Callaway caught four of eight targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-22 win over Washington.

    Analysis: The second-year receiver tied Alvin Kamara for the team lead in targets and finished one back in receptions, but Callaway led the Saints in receiving thanks largely to a 49-yard TD on a hail mary at the end of the first half. He then snagged a 12-yard strike from Jameis Winston early in the fourth quarter as New Orleans pulled away. Callaway will head into a Week 6 bye with 13 catches on 21 targets for 222 yards and three scores, but he could face additional competition for Winston's attention…read more

    Callaway caught two of two targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Callaway was silent before popping for a 58-yard gain at the start of the third quarter. Meanwhile, Deonte Harris easily paced the team with eight targets while no other Saints player saw more than three. Though Callaway is technically the No. 1 perimeter option while Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) are sidelined, his upside is clearly capped by a low-volume New Orleans passing game that saw Jameis Winston set a season high with 23 passing attempts Sunday. However, his low…read more

    Callaway had four receptions (five targets) for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Callaway turned in his best performance of the season as the Saints move to 2-1. He continues to serve as the club's top option at wide receiver, but that hadn't resulted in much fantasy production due to the conservative nature of New Orleans' offensive game plan. Callaway will look to build on this performance in a soft matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

    Callaway caught two of four targets for eight yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Jameis Winston only completed 11 passes all afternoon in a truly terrible performance, but Callaway still led all Saints' wideouts in catches and targets. The second-year player still appears to be atop the depth chart for New Orleans, but between a blowout win in Week 1 and a complete no-show by the Saints' offense in Week 2, he hasn't had much of a chance to turn that role into real volume. Callaway faces a potentially tough matchup next week as well, on the road against the Patriots.

  • Two targets in starting role

    Callaway caught one of two passes for 14 yards during Sunday's 38-3 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: After a summer full of hype, Callaway didn't seem to have a large role in the game plan despite the absences of both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring). Instead, Jameis Winston spread the ball around to eight different receivers with Adam Trautman (six targets) and Alvin Kamara (four) getting the most attention. However, it should be noted that Winston needed to throw only 20 passes in this one, and Callaway would be an obvious candidate to see more looks when the Saints do…read more

  • Primed for No. 1 role

    Callaway enters Week 1 against Green Bay as the Saints' likely No. 1 receiver, while Michael Thomas (ankle) is out for at least five games and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) for at least three, Amie Just of The Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Thomas is on the PUP list, and Smith is on injured reserve. Callaway barely made the team as an undrafted rookie last season, but he now finds himself as the likely go-to receiver for Jameis Winston, who otherwise has Alvin Kamara and a couple of young, unproven tight ends. Callaway caught eight of nine targets for 165 yards in two preseason games, including a pair of TDs from Winston. The Saints' depth chart behind Callaway doesn't offer much, with Deonte Harris, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Chris…read more

  • Sensational versus Jaguars

    Callaway caught all five of his targets for 104 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 23-21 preseason win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Callaway was the star of the show, hauling in a 43-yard touchdown while being interfered with to cap New Orleans' opening drive. He then made an incredible, one-handed catch while outstretched for a 29-yard score two series later. In doing so, the second-year pro showed a great connection with quarterback Jameis Winston, which should bode well for Callaway as he approaches the regular season. With Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (undisclosed) sidelined to this point, Callaway has…read more

  • Hot start in preseason opener

    Callaway caught three of four targets for 61 yards in Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Callaway has been the favorite practice target for both Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston, and his rapport with the former was evident on the opening drive, when Callaway caught all three of his targets for 61 yards. His only other target over the next two possessions resulted in an incomplete pass, though. With Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (undisclosed) both sidelined by injuries, Callaway has established himself as the Saints' top healthy receiver, and he could retain that title…read more

  • Operating as No. 1 receiver

    Callaway is operating as the Saints' No. 1 receiver in training camp by default, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (undisclosed) sidelined while Deonte Harris faces a possible suspension for off-field conduct, Callaway seems to have a solid chance to open the regular season as the team's clear top receiver. Not only has he reportedly caught more passes than any other wideout during training camp, but Callaway is "by far" the go-to option for quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill. While it's possible that Smith and Harris could both be available for Week…read more

  • Pushes for increased role

    Callaway has impressed through training camp thus far, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Callaway, who's already in the Saints' return mix, could see his role in the offense expand early on this season, with top wideout Michael Thomas (ankle) expected to miss time. In the short term, Callaway and Deonte Harris figure to have added opportunities, with Tre'Quan Smith currently dealing with an unspecified injury. The 6-foot-2, 204-pound Callaway caught 21 passes for 213 yards in 11 regular-season games as a rookie in 2020, and based on his strong training camp effort to date, he now…read more

  • Helping replace Thomas

    Callaway's role is expected to increase in the absence of Michael Thomas (ankle), Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

    Analysis: Tre'Quan Smith seems firmly established as the Saints' top receiver in the absence of Thomas, who is expected to be sidelined for at least the first month of the season. Meanwhile, Callaway and Deonte Harris appear like the clear favorites to fill the No. 2 and 3 jobs behind him. While it's too soon to tell which guy may be the more prominent fantasy contributor once the regular season rolls around, it seems like the Saints have confidence in both of them given how little the team did to make…read more

  • Solid rookie campaign

    Callaway caught 21 passes for 213 yards in 11 regular-season games as a rookie in 2020.

    Analysis: Callaway enjoyed modest production as a rookie out of Tennessee, going 21-213-0 as a receiver and filling in on kickoff and punt return duties while Deonte Harris was injured. Callaway will have plenty of competition for targets when he returns for his second season with a presumably healthy receiving corps.

  • Three receptions in Week 17 win

    Callaway brought in three of four targets for 51 yards in the Saints' 33-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Callaway finished with his second-most yards of the season, though he was unable to find the end zone in Sunday's victory. He ends his rookie season with 21 receptions for 213 yards, though his final stat line was inflated due to the loss of Michael Thomas for much of the season. Callaway made most of his impact on special teams in his first NFL season, and that will likely be his role in 2021 when Thomas is set to return.

  • Multiple roles in return

    Callaway (knee) brought in three of four targets for 26 yards and returned one punt for 16 yards in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie was solid in his return from a three-game absence, tying for second in the team in targets while serving as one of the Drew Brees' top three wideouts. Callaway put together a pair of solid efforts earlier in the season with Michael Thomas out of action; with the latter once again on injured reserve due to his nagging ankle issues and Tre'Quan Smith sharing the same designation, Callaway could see even more volume in the Week 17 regular-season finale versus the Panthers.

  • Active for Friday's game

    Callaway (knee) is active for Friday's game against Minnesota, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Callaway last played Week 12, but he hasn't seen more than 17 snaps or two targets in a game since Week 7. It's possible that changes Friday, as the Saints still have four wide receivers on injured reserve, including Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle). The other candidates for WR snaps behind Emmanuel Sanders are Juwan Johnson, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Austin Carr.

  • Comes off IR

    The Saints activated Callaway (knee) from injured reserve Thursday, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After he was cleared to resume practicing Tuesday, Callaway apparently fared well enough in his workouts over the past three days for the Saints to sign off on his return to the 53-man roster. He'll be taking the spot of fellow wideout Tre'Quan Smith (ankle), who was placed on IR in a corresponding move. With Smith joining Michael Thomas (ankle) and Deonte Harris (neck) on IR, the Saints will turn to veteran Emmanuel Sanders and a trio of relatively unproven options -- Callaway, Juwan Johnson…read more

    Callaway (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Callaway will return to practice this week, opening a 21-day evaluation window for his activation from IR. The undrafted rookie out of Tennessee is eligible to play in Friday's game against the Vikings. With Michael Thomas (ankle) out for the rest of the regular season, Callaway could secure a starting job, especially with Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) not 100 percent.

    Callaway (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Callaway suffered a minor knee sprain in last week's win over the Broncos, but he's facing an extended absence. The undrafted rookie out of Tennessee won't be eligible to return until Week 17. To add depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Falcons, the Saints elevated Juwan Johnson and Tommylee Lewis from the practice squad.

  • Sitting out Week 13

    The Saints ruled Callaway (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: After coming out of last week's win over the Broncos with the knee injury, Callaway was unable to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday. The Saints are also listing Deonte Harris (neck) as questionable for the contest, so the team could be lacking in healthy depth behind its starting receiver trio of Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith.

  • Sidelined at practice

    Callaway didn't suit up in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: It was reported Tuesday that Callaway suffered a minor knee sprain in last Sunday's win over Denver, so this news isn't quite surprising. With Deonte Harris (neck) also missing practice, the Saints return game could be short handed for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Callaway's knee injury suffered Sunday is confirmed to be a minor sprain, but he could miss time, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Saints will be shorthanded in the return game if Callaway is to miss time as Deonte Harris (neck) is also injured. Callaway's status for Week 13 should come into focus as the week of practice and injury reports start back up Wednesday.

    Analysis: Callaway limped off the field in the second quarter, and the Saints officially ruled him out shortly after halftime. He didn't have a target before exiting Sunday's contest. Tre'Quan Smith will continue to serve as New Orleans' third receiver behind Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

  • Logs full practice Thursday

    Callaway (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

    Analysis: Callaway was becoming more involved in the Saints offense before an ankle injury sidelined him this past Sunday at Chicago. With a full practice finally under his belt this week, he seems poised to regain his standing, especially if Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) continues to miss time. In his previous two appearances Weeks 5 and 7, Callaway combined for 12 catches (on 16 targets) for 109 yards.

  • Logs limited session

    Callaway (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Tennessee posted a career-high eight receptions for 75 yards Week 7 against the Panthers before sitting out the Saints' Week 8 win over the Bears with the ankle injury. His presence on the practice field to begin the week bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday in Tampa Bay, but Callaway's opportunities are expected drop off with Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) and possibly Michael Thomas (hamstring/ankle) returning to the lineup this weekend.

    Callaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Callaway saw 16 targets the past two weeks, catching 12 passes for 109 yards. He picked up an ankle injury during last week's win over the Panthers, and he'll now be out for at least one game despite logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. With Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (reserve/COVID-19) also unavailable, the Saints are left with Tre'Quan Smith and Deonte Harris as their top wide receivers.

  • Increases activity Thursday

    Callaway (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Callaway followed up Wednesday's absence with some activity during Thursday's session, so he's taking a step in the right direction for Sunday's visit to Chicago. He may be joined by Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) for the first time since Week 1 after the stud wide receiver also practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Even if both suit up Sunday, Callaway is poised for a decent workload with Emmanuel Sanders (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

  • DNP on Wednesday

    Callaway (ankle) was held out of practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure from Sunday's win against the Panthers due to a minor ankle sprain, Callaway hauled in eight of 10 passes for 75 yards, which more than doubled his season output (5-50-0 on seven targets). With two more opportunities to take the field this week, he can set himself up to be available this weekend in Chicago in a Saints receiving corps that again may be without Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (illness).

  • Tending to minor sprain

    Callaway was diagnosed with a minor ankle sprain after exiting Sunday's 27-24 win over the Panthers and is viewed as day-to-day heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Bears, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With both Michael Thomas (hamstring/ankle) and Emmanuel Sanders (reserve/COVID-19 list) sidelined against Carolina, Callaway stepped up as quarterback Drew Brees' favorite read on the afternoon. He was particularly busy in the first 20 minutes of the contest, drawing six targets over that stretch. The undrafted rookie ultimately finished with eight receptions for 75 yards on 10 targets before limping off the field late in the fourth quarter. Fortunately for Callaway, he appears to have avoided…read more

    Callaway left Sunday's game against the Panthers with an apparent leg injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: It's not clear exactly what Callaway's dealing with, but he limped to the locker room late in the fourth quarter and probably won't return by the end of the game. The undrafted rookie out of Tennesee made the most of Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) being ruled out, as he was leading the team with eight receptions for 75 yards at the time of his exit.

    Callaway brought in four of six targets for 34 yards in Monday night's 30-27 overtime win against the Chargers.

    Analysis: With both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Deonte Harris (hamstring) unavailable, Callaway had a season-best performance. Thomas should be back for Week 6 however, and Callaway's value will likely take a nosedive when that happens.

He's unlikely to take the field in his rookie season, with Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Tre'Quan Smith and Deonte Harris firmly ahead of him on the depth chart.
