The Saints are getting a week off to rest and reset. Here's a look at the Week 11 schedule and the other teams on a bye.

The New Orleans Saints have a bye week for Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season. It's been a rough season for the 2-8 Saints, despite the efforts of Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave. Next up on the schedule is a home game against the Atlanta Falcons at 3:25 p.m. CT Sunday, Nov. 23.

The Saints had an abysmal start to their season, but with lots of winnable games coming up after the bye week, they could look to gather some wins.

According to NOLA.com's Jeff Duncan, team president Dennis Lauscha revealed that the Saints are targeting a game in Paris as early as the 2026 campaign. The NFL and stadium officials in Paris are reportedly "working" to finalize a deal and there likely will be an official announcement over the next several weeks.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to release veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks, according to multiple reports. With New Orleans firmly in rebuilding mode and the 32-year-old Cooks potentially looking for a more impactful role on a more competitive team, this move serves as an easy break for both parties.
