Saints Gain Chase Young Boost as Patriots Flag Christian Gonzalez on Late-Week Report

Thursday reports highlight a healthier trend for New Orleans compared with New England.

Overview

  • Chase Young practiced on a limited basis for the first time since his preseason calf strain and said he is hopeful to play Sunday, with coach Kellen Moore noting he looked good.
  • Alvin Kamara tweaked an ankle in practice, which Moore characterized as nothing concerning, and Isaac Yiadom remained the Saints’ lone non-participant.
  • Trevor Penning, Cesar Ruiz and Justin Reid were upgraded to full participation for New Orleans, with Reid still progressing through the concussion protocol, and John Ridgeway III practiced fully after being designated to return from IR.
  • Patriots All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez was added as a limited participant with a hamstring designation, and his position coach said the early practice exit was part of a planned approach.
  • New England’s injury list stayed heavy with Antonio Gibson headed to injured reserve after a torn ACL, Keion White and Jaylinn Hawkins not practicing, and Anfernee Jennings held out Thursday, leaving thin edge depth in practice.
