The NFL has announced that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner will be suspended for the first six games of the 2026 season. The reason for the suspension has not been disclosed. Rechsteiner is an undrafted rookie from Jacksonville State and is eligible to participate in preseason activities before roster cuts on August 30. Despite the suspension, he could be a candidate for the practice squad, as the Saints are managing their roster following injuries and retirements. His situation is further complicated by the team's recent loss of Bryan Bresee to a season-ending injury.
