Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Sidelined by hamstring issue

Shaheed missed practice Saturday due to hamstring tightness, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Head coach Dennis Allen didn't seem overly concerned about the injury, which was characterized as hamstring tightness, saying that the team hopes to get Shaheed back on the field Sunday. The wideout is slated to be an important player for the Saints during the coming season, as he's expected to again work as the team's lead kick and punt returner in addition to functioning as the No. 2 receiver.
