An undrafted rookie in 2019, Hansen made his NFL debut Week 1 of this season but suffered a hip injury and hasn't played since. He'll return to practice this week in hopes of playing this Sunday against the Bears, but the Saints have 21 days to evaluate his health before activating him from IR.

Hansen came into Sunday's game against Detroit deemed questionable; however, he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three games with the hip issue.

After spending his rookie 2019 season on the NFI list with an undisclosed injury, Hansen made his NFL debut in Week 1, logging all 13 snaps on special teams.
