New Orleans Saints LB Barrett Ruud practiced Thursday, Aug. 23, making it possible for him to play in the team's preseason game against the Houston Texans Saturday, Aug. 25.

Saints | Barrett Ruud not expected to play Saturday Wed Aug 22, 02:55 PM
New Orleans Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt said he does not think LB Barrett Ruud will play in the third preseason game Saturday, Aug. 25. The Saints acquired Ruud in a trade earlier this week.
Footballguys view: The Ruud acquisition says more about the health of David Hawthorne and Curtis Lofton than the viability of Ruud in IDP leagues. |

Seahawks | Barrett Ruud traded Mon Aug 20, 09:36 PM
The Seattle Seahawks have traded LB Barrett Ruud to the New Orleans Saints for an undisclosed draft choice.
Footballguys view: Ruud was expendable after the emergence of rookie Bobby Wagner. He's got high football intelligence and a nose for the football. We like Wagner as a LB2 with upside in IDP leagues now that he's in for an expanded role. |

Saints | Barrett Ruud acquired Mon Aug 20, 09:36 PM
The New Orleans Saints have acquired LB Barrett Ruud from the Seattle Seahawks for an undisclosed draft choice.
Footballguys view: With Curtis Lofton (ankle) and David Hawthorne (knee) hurt the Saints had to make a move here. Ruud lost his starting job in Seattle to standout rookie Bobby Wagner, but should have no problem starting in the middle for the Saints. |

Seahawks | Sidney Rice progressing Tue Aug 14, 05:58 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Sidney Rice (shoulder) is now practicing in team drills and is diving for balls as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery. However, he won't play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 11, but his progression in practice is a sign that he'll be ready to play in Week 1. WR Doug Baldwin (hamstring) was back at practice Tuesday, Aug. 14, and WR Ricardo Lockette (leg) and LB Barrett Ruud (knee) also were back.
Footballguys view: Rice is one of the most injury-prone receivers in the league, but he's also one of the best in the air. His 9th/10th round ADP has priced in his risk. He could be a value pick if he successfully returns to the field for the third preseason game and looks good. |

Titans | Barrett Ruud still dealing with injury Mon Dec 5, 06:36 PM
Tennessee Titans LB Barrett Ruud (groin) is still dealing with his groin injury and may not play in Week 14. If Ruud is not able to play, BL Colin McCarthy likely would start in his place.
Footballguys view: The rookie McCarthy has frankly outplayed Ruud anyway, so we have our doubts that Ruud will return to the lineup once he is healthy. Since he is only on a one-year deal, the Titans have no real attachment to Ruud. |
