Chase

Young

He finally got in a full practice on Friday and will make his debut against the Patriots in Week 6 after suffering a calf injury ahead of Week 1. Young should bolster the New Orleans pass rush, but his return isn’t impactful enough to shake Drake Maye from the QB1 ranks.

We’re 0-for-5 on Young playing this season despite him being fully active. As we wrote earlier, hard to believe this team is 0-4. It’ll remain the Carl Granderson show for the Saints’ defense in Week 5.

Rather than place Young on injured reserve, the Saints have decided to carry him on the active roster for the first four weeks and have had him at practice one time in that span — a limited on the Wednesday of Week 1. It’s a free country. The Saints also ruled out Dillon Radunz (toe) and will have Trevor Penning (toe) active.

The Saints’ right tackle is now firmly on track to suit up in Week 4 against the Bills. Fuaga entered Week 2 with a knee injury and exited Week 2 with a back injury as well. The 23-year-old was unable to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Saints EDGE Chase Young (calf) and OG Dillon Radunz (toe) remain sidelined.

Fuaga played through his knee injury last week but he picked up a back injury in-game and was unable to practice at all this week. Young (calf) has yet to suit up in 2025. Saints LG Trevor Penning (toe) was limited all week, but New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill and Mike Triplett both expressed skepticism as to whether he was healthy enough to start against the Seahawks today. The offensive line will remain worryingly short-staffed.

Friday’s injury report has not yet been released but as of Thursday, Young remains a non-participant. The Saints will also be without OG Dillon Radunz (toe), who started in Week 2 against the 49ers. Saints LG Trevor Penning (toe) and RT Taliese Fuaga (knee/back) are both questionable for Week 3 against the Seahawks.

Penning’s return comes at the right time. His direct backup, OG Dillon Radunz, is now sidelined by a toe injury of his own, and starting RT Taliese Fuaga picked up a back injury in Week 2. He was already nursing a knee injury. Saints EDGE Chase Young is also still sidelined by a calf injury.

Also out was EDGE Chase Young (knee). Both Fuaga and Young did not practice last Wednesday, either. However, Fuaga did practice later in the week and went on to play in Week 2 while Young was sidelined again while still not practicing. Between the two, Fuaga is more likely to work his way back to play Week 3 against the Seahawks while it seems Young will still need more time.

Young is officially week to week. He seemed like he gave it a legitimate go this week before being ruled out on Friday. He should be considered genuinely questionable for Week 3 against the Seahawks.

A minor #RevengeGame narrative is snuffed out as Young hasn’t practiced due to the calf injury since the season began. Trevor Penning (toe) joins Young on the inactive line. New Orleans managed four sacks without Young against the Cardinals in Week 1, but Kyler Murray gave them a little help on those.
