Bresee (illness) is active for Sunday's game against Dallas, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Bresee was a DNP for Friday's practice due to an illness, but he will suit up Sunday. The 2023 first-round pick played 34 snaps (32 on defense, two on special teams) and did not record a tackle in the Saints' Week 1 victory over the Panthers.
Bresee (illness) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Bresee popped up on the Saints' injury report with an illness, and he is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. Khalen Saunders (calf) has already been ruled out for Week 2, and if Bresee were unable to suit up, then John Ridgeway would be in line to start at defensive tackle alongside Nathan Shepherd.
Bresee (foot) returned to practice Wednesday, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports. Bresee was back in action Wednesday after having previously been sidelined due to a foot injury. Now healthy, the 2023 first-round pick will likely serve as a rotational defender once the regular season begins.
Bresee was absent from Saturday's practice due to a foot injury, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports. There is no word on the severity of Bresee's foot injury at this point. He is coming off a productive rookie campaign that saw him accumulate 24 tackles, 4.5 sacks and six passes defended across 17 games. When healthy, the defensive tackle projects to boost depth on the Saints' interior defensive line this year.
