New Orleans Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing meniscus surgery Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Shaheed was placed on injured reserve and faces a four-to-six month recovery, Schefter adds.
Doctors opted for the full repair rather than just trimming his meniscus, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The 26-year-old was off to a hot start this season, hauling in 20 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns. He also returned a punt for a score.
The Saints are already playing without Chris Olave, who is set to miss Thursday night's game against the Denver Broncos due to a concussion. Quarterback Derek Carr has also been sidelined with an oblique issue.
New Orleans is reportedly among the teams interested in New York Jets wideout Mike Williams.
