New Orleans Saints wide receiver, Rashid Shaheed has reached a major milestone. On Friday evening, Shaheed posted a clip on Instagram of him walking. This video documents the first steps that he has taken without assistance since getting the surgery
There’s two things you’ll notice from the short clip. Shaheed is walking without any sort of brace on, and he’s walking at a pretty good pace for a guy only six weeks removed from knee surgery.
Shaheed injured his knee against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Shortly after that, the wide receiver underwent meniscus surgery and was placed on season ending injured reserve.
He won’t return this season, of course, but Shaheed appears to be making a speedy recovery. He’s one of two wide receivers who my be out for the season. The jury is still out on whether Chris Olave will return from a concussion that also put him on injured reserve.
There may not be a position group more impacted by injuries than the wide receiver room.
