Activated off PUP ahead of Week 11
Published: 2024-11-16
The Saints activated Sewell (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Sewell suffered an ACL injury in Week 17 of the 2023 regular season, and his recovery prompted the Saints to place the 27-year-old on the PUP list at the start of the regular season. He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, but if he's cleared to play, Sewell would give the Saints depth at linebacker, which is timely considering starter Pete Werner (hand) is considered a game-time decision.
Won't return Week 10
Published: 2024-11-09
Sewell (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Sewell has been on the Saints' reserve/PUP list since the start of the regular season while working his way back from an ACL injury from Week 17 of the 2023 season. While he was able to practice in full all week, he appears to need more time before returning to action. Sewell's next opportunity to make his 2024 regular-season debut will be against the Browns in Week 11.
Designated to return
Published: 2024-10-30
Sewell (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Sewell has missed New Orleans' first eight games this year while recovering from a torn ACL sustained in Week 17 of the 2023 season. The Utah product will now have 21 days to be activated to the Saints' active roster before reverting to IR. Expect Sewell to serve as one of New Orleans' top rotational inside linebackers once he returns to the field.
Unavailable to open season
Published: 2024-08-28
Sewell (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Saints on Tuesday.
Sewell is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 17 of the 2023 season and he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker will be first eligible to return in Week 5 against Kansas City on Oct. 7.
Starts camp on active/PUP
Published: 2024-07-18
The Saints placed Sewell (knee) on the active/PUP list Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Sewell suffered a torn ACL in Week 17 last season and isn't yet 100 percent. Undrafted out of Utah in 2022, Sewell has appeared in 20 games for the Saints over the last two seasons, mainly focusing on special teams. He'll likely fill a similar role in 2024.
Still on the mend
Published: 2024-03-20
Sewell (knee) isn't expected to be ready for training camp, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.
Given that Sewell tore his ACL in Week 17 last season, it's not surprising that the linebacker is on track to be eased back into the mix. Once healthy, the 25-year-old -- who recorded 15 tackles in 16 regular-season outings last year -- is in line to reprise his depth/special teams teams role with the Saints in 2024.
Officially moves to IR
Published: 2024-01-06
Sewell (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
The 25-year-old linebacker out of Utah tore his ACL in the Saints' Week 17 win over the Buccaneers, so it's no surprise that he's shifted over to IR. Sewell appeared in 16 games for New Orleans this season, recording 15 total tackles, including two tackles for loss and forcing one fumble while playing 323 total snaps (57 defensive and 266 on special teams).
Season ends early
Published: 2024-01-01
Sewell suffered an ACL injury, which will require surgery, in the Saints' win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Sewell will now focus on prep for surgery, as opposed to New Orleans' Week 18 opponent, the Falcons. The Utah product's second NFL season will come to an end with 16 games played, 15 tackles (11 solo) and a forced fumble while mostly covering on special teams. It's not clear what type of ACL injury specifically Sewell is dealing with, or if he's in danger of missing most of or any of the 2024 campaign.
