Saints Edge Rusher Chase Young Returns to Practice ‘Hopeful’ About Playing Against the Patriots
Key Patriots defenders Hawkins and White miss practice with injuries while Saints defensive end Chase Young returns after calf strain, aiming to play Sunday.
- On Wednesday at the Patriots' practice facility, Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins and defensive lineman Keion White were the only non-participants at the start of practice ahead of the Sunday game against New Orleans; the Patriots will release their first injury report Wednesday evening.
- After last weekend's win in Buffalo, Keion White returned with a right elbow issue that limited him at practice; Jaylinn Hawkins has dealt with a hamstring despite starting all five games and playing more than 90% of defensive snaps.
- Without Chase Young, the Saints' pass rush has been paced by Carl Granderson and Cameron Jordan, while New Orleans's defense has 12 sacks, tied with Houston for 13th in the league.
- This week, Michael Davis could get significant playing time given Yiadom's hamstring absence, while Kellen Moore said Justin Reid remains in concussion protocol and downplayed Alvin Kamara's ankle issue.
- After the Saints' first victory last week, the team is managing recovery timelines cautiously as Chase Young warned that players with calf injuries often reaggravate them.
