Yiadom (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
The veteran cornerback from Boston College logged consecutive DNPs to open the Saints' week of practice and is now in line to miss his second game in a row Sunday. Yiadom appeared in each of New Orleans' first four contests this season, recording 16 total tackles across 140 defensive snaps. Rookie fourth-round pick Quincy Riley is expected to draw his second start at slot corner in Yiadom's stead.

Rotowire
Yiadom (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday.
Yiadom was sidelined for New Orleans' Week 5 win over the Giants. His inability to practice Wednesday isn't encouraging, but he'll have the chance to ramp up his activity as the week progresses toward Sunday's matchup against New England.

Saints' Isaac Yiadom: Won't play against NYG
Rotowire
Yiadom (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Per Paras, Yiadom sustained a hamstring injury during practice this past week. The injury prevented Yiadom from participating in practice Thursday and Friday, and the 2018 third-rounder will not take the field for Week 5 as a result. Quincy Riley has seen the field on defense in each of the last two games, and he figures to be the top candidate for an increased role in the secondary Sunday in Yiadom's absence. Week 6 against the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 12 is Yiadom's next opportunity to play.

Saints' Isaac Yiadom: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Yiadom was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Yiadom may have picked up the injury during the Saints' Week 4 loss to the Bills, when he logged three tackles (one solo) while playing just 21 snaps (12 on defense, nine on special teams). He didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to log a limited session Thursday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on Yiadom's chances of playing against the Giants on Sunday in New Orleans. Rookie fourth-rounder Quincy Riley played a season-high 24 snaps on defense in Week 4 and would likely see even more playing time Sunday if Yiadom is not cleared to play.

Saints' Isaac Yiadom: Signs with New Orleans
Rotowire
Yiadom agreed to a three-year deal with the Saints on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The seventh-year veteran is heading back to New Orleans, having spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Saints. The deal includes $4.86 million guaranteed with a maximum value of $10.5 million. Yiadom, who played well in limited exposure with the 49ers last year, is expected to provide some versatility to a secondary that at minimum needs some depth, if not outright flexibility to move a preferred option, whether that be Alontae Taylor, or a projected draft pick, into the starting slot.

49ers' Isaac Yiadom: Able to suit up in Week 18
Rotowire
Yiadom (pelvis) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Yiadom dealt with a pelvis issue throughout the week and was deemed questionable on San Francisco's final injury report Friday. However, he's feeling well enough to be able to suit up for the team's final game of the 2024 season. Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder) is inactive Sunday, which could result in Yiadom getting more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps.

49ers' Isaac Yiadom: Gets in limited session
Rotowire
Yiadom (pelvis) upgraded to a limited practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Yiadom was a non-participant in Wednesday's session, so he appears to have a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals after playing 68 percent of the defensive snaps Monday against Detroit. With Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder) logging back-to-back DNPs to open the practice week, Yiadom could be in for more work against Arizona if he's cleared to play.

Packers' Isaac Yiadom: Likely to see more work
Rotowire
Yiadom is likely to start in place of Kevin King (shoulder) in Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Jason Wilde of ESPN.com reports.
Yiadom has seen around 20 defensive snaps per game to this point in the campaign as a rotational corner. However, with King sidelined, Yiadom should be in line for his biggest role of the campaign. Rasul Douglas is also a candidate to see more snaps.

Giants' Isaac Yiadom: Sent to New York
Rotowire
Yiadom was traded to the Giants via the Broncos on Wednesday in exchange for a 2021 seventh-round pick, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
The Giants saw both Sam Beal and Shakial Taylor opt out of the 2020 season this offseason, so they chose to boost their cornerback room with Yiadom. The 24-year-old was decent in a mostly starting role for the Broncos in 2020, logging 43 total tackles and four passes defensed across 16 games. He'll likely battle for playing time in a depth fashion to begin the season, with James Bradberry and Corey Ballentine expected to handle starting duties.

Broncos' Isaac Yiadom: Posts eight tackles
Rotowire
Yiadom made eight solo tackles in Monday's 24-16 loss to the Raiders.
Yiadom's impressive tackle count is partly attributed to his struggles in coverage, as he struggled to lock down Raiders TE Darren Waller. He'll likely continue to be counted on in coverage until Bryce Callahan (foot) returns, which will likely lead to a battle for snaps between Yiadom, De'Vante Bausby and Davontae Harris.

Yiadom has undergone surgery to repair a separated shoulder he suffered in the regular season, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
