New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner will miss the first six games of the 2026 NFL regular season after a suspension issued by the NFL Commissioner. Hindustan Times, citing ESPN’s Adam Schefter, reports that no reason for the suspension has been released. The undrafted 23-year-old can attend training camp and play in pre-season matches. The ban begins after teams cut their squads to 53 players. Rechsteiner joined New Orleans after impressing at rookie minicamp, having recorded 36 receptions, 383 yards and five touchdowns in his final season at Jacksonville State. The Saints open their season against the Detroit Lions on September 13.
