Saints Rookie WR Brock Rechsteiner Suspended for 6 Games

The undrafted rookie can play preseason games but will miss the first six regular-season contests after the NFL suspension takes effect.

  • On Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner has been suspended for the first six games of the 2026 NFL season.
  • After impressing coaches at minicamp in May, the 23-year-old joined the Saints from the Jacksonville State Gamecocks as an undrafted free agent.
  • While eligible to participate in preseason, the suspension triggers after the team reduces its roster to 53 players on Aug. 30.
  • Already facing an uphill battle to make the team, this suspension significantly diminishes Rechsteiner's already long-shot chances of securing a roster spot.
  • The son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner, Rechsteiner has previously expressed intentions to pursue a professional wrestling career once his football playing days conclude.
