Saints' Dante Pettis: Records 60 receiving yards in loss
Pettis brought in all five targets for 60 yards in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 17 yards.
Both Chris Olave (illness) and Mason Tipton (IR, groin) were unavailable Sunday, thrusting Pettis into an expanded role. The journeyman wideout/returner turned in a solid performance, tying for the team lead in receptions while falling just a yard short of doing the same in receiving yards. Pettis appeared in eight games for the Saints in 2025, generating a 9-127-0 line on 11 targets and adding 351 kickoff-return yards and 79 punt-return yards while playing out a one-year deal.

Saints' Dante Pettis: Looks set to start Week 18
Pettis is positioned as one of the Saints' top remaining wide receivers for Sunday's season finale against the Falcons due to Chris Olave (illness) being ruled out for Week 18,
Pettis and Kevin Austin appear set to operate as the Saints' top WRs in Week 18 with Olave ruled out due to a blood clot in his lung and Mason Tipton (groin) having been placed on IR. Behind Pettis and Austin, wideouts Ronnie Bell and Samori Toure have been signed from the practice squad. An experienced veteran with eight seasons in the NFL under his belt, Pettis may be the most reliable target remaining in New Orleans' wide receiver corps, though Austin has demonstrated greater chemistry with rookie QB Tyler Shough, having strung together three straight games with multiple receptions. Pettis, meanwhile, brought in three of four targets for 53 yards versus the Titans in Week 17 and stands to see his opportunity share increase versus Atlanta.

Saints' Dante Pettis: Grabs three passes Week 17
Pettis gathered in three of four targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 34-26 victory over the Titans.
Pettis logged more than one target for the first time this season, as he finished tied for third on the team in this category Sunday. The 30-year-old served as the Saints' WR3 with Mason Tipton (groin) inactive. Coming into Week 17, Pettis totaled just one reception on two targets across six appearances. He could see a moderate workload again if Tipton remains sidelined in the regular-season finale versus Atlanta.

Saints' Dante Pettis: Joins active roster
The Saints signed Pettis from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
The 2018 second-round pick from Washington has appeared in each of the Saints' last three games, catching his lone target for 14 yards while also accumulating 126 kick-return yards and 30 punt-return yards. Now with the active roster, Pettis will likely remain a depth option in New Orleans' receiving corps while operating as the top return man in the Week 14 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Saints' Dante Pettis: Goes back to practice squad
Pettis reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Pettis got his third elevation of the season for Sunday's Week 13 loss to Miami. He logged three snaps on offense without recording any targets, though the veteran wideout also played nine snaps on special teams and returned two punts for 12 yards along with two kicks for 47 yards. Since Pettis has already been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster to suit up for the Saints again during the regular season.

Saints' Dante Pettis: Elevated from practice squad
The Saints elevated Pettis from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.
Pettis will be elevated for the third consecutive game and should serve as the team's punt returner once again. The 30-year-old has caught just one pass for 14 yards across his two appearances and should continue to have a limited role on offense. This is the final time the team can elevate Pettis, and it would have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play again.

Saints' Dante Pettis: Back with practice squad
Pettis reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Pettis was elevated again in Week 12, catching his only target for 14 yards while logging six offensive snaps in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons. The wide receiver finished fifth at his position in offensive snaps behind Devaughn Vele (71), Chris Olave (64), Mason Tipton (56) and Kevin Austin (10). Pettis also registered 10 yards on three punt returns and returned two kickoffs for 48 yards while playing 10 snaps on special teams. Pettis can still be elevated one more time before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Dante Pettis: Back with New Orleans on PS
The Saints signed Pettis to the practice squad Thursday.
Pettis signed a one-year deal with the Saints in March but was unable to make the team's practice squad at the end of training camp. He was without a team for just over a month, but he has opted to return to New Orleans as a member of the team's practice squad. Pettis would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster for the Saints' Week 5 clash against the Giants on Sunday if fellow wide receiver Trey Palmer (ankle) is unable to play.
