Not an ideal update yet.
Injuries are a massive part of the NFL on a weekly basis. The New Orleans Saints are set to face a Brock Purdy and George Kittle-less offense for the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. Kittle is on injured reserve, while Purdy has already been ruled out as well.
For New Orleans, how does their side look when it comes to the injury front? It is a bit crowded for them as well. Their biggest questions are in the trenches when it comes to injuries.
Chase Young still not practicing ahead of 49ers game
According to the Saints’ latest injury report, edge rusher Chase Young is still missing practice due to his calf injury. Additionally, Trevor Penning continues to miss time due to his foot injury.
Young and Penning both did not play in the season opener due to these ailments. As the missed practice time continues, their timetable for return seems to be farther and farther away.
