Chase Young Latest News
Clear for Monday
Young (illness) does not carry a designation ahead of Monday's game against the Packers. Young missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness before returning as full participant Saturday. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick has been productive in his first season with New Orleans, tallying 25 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and two passes defended. He should reprise his role as the team's top rotational edge rusher behind Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson on Monday.
Misses Friday's practice
Young (illness) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. The 25-year-old has now missed two consecutive practices due to an illness, putting his status for the Saints' Week 16 matchup against the Packers in doubt. Young almost certainly needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Saturday in order to play Monday night. If he's unable to do so, Payton Turner is likely to serve as New Orleans' top rotational edge rusher.
Dealing with illness
Young (illness) did not practice Thursday. Young is coming off a two-sack performance against the Commanders this past Sunday. However, it appears the 2020 first-pick is under the weather, which prevented him from participating in the Saints' first official practice of the week Thursday. Young will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers.
Has multi-sack game Sunday
Young recorded three tackles (three solo) including 2.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-19 loss versus the Commanders. Chase played one of his best games in recent memory against his former team in Week 15, posting two sacks for the first time since Week 7 of the 2023 season. He'll be hoping to add to his season sack total of 5.5 in Week 16 at Green Bay.
Comes off PUP list
The Saints activated Young (neck) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Young has been dealing with a nagging neck injury that's kept him sidelined since signing with the Saints, but he was spotted practicing Wednesday and it finally seems as if he's past the issue. Now that the one-time second overall pick has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of New Orleans' top edge rushers in 2024.
Passes physical
Young (neck) passed his physical Tuesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports. Young should officially be good to go for practice tomorrow despite having been placed on the active/PUP list last Thursday. The 2020 first-round pick will likely serve as a rotational pass rusher behind Cameron Jordan (ankle) and Carl Granderson after signing with the team this offseason.
Set to practice Wednesday
Head coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that Young (neck) will participate in practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Young can be activated off the active/PUP list at any point during training camp to participate in practice, although it is unclear whether he will be a full participant or work with trainers. The 2020 first-round pick out of Ohio State is working through the final steps of his recovery process from his offseason neck surgery. Young recorded 25 tackles (17 solo), including 7.5 sacks, and two pass deflections over 16 regular-season games with the Commanders and 49ers in 2023.
Sent to PUP list by New Orleans
The Saints placed Young (neck) on the active/PUP list Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Young has said he intends to be ready for the start of training camp, but for now it appears that he's still working through the recovery process following his offseason neck surgery. He can come off the PUP list at any point during training camp or the preseason, once cleared to practice, and there are still just over three weeks until New Orleans' preseason opener at Arizona. The 2020 first-round pick could emerge as a key part of the Saints' pass-rush corps for the 2024 season, health permitting.
Plans to be back by training camp
Young received a positive report on his recovery from offseason neck surgery earlier this week, and plans to participate in the Saints' training camp, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Young's neck surgery earlier in the offseason was supposed to sideline him until at least training camp, so this report comes as positive news for the Saints. The former first-round pick out of Ohio State has struggled with injuries since he won Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2020, appearing in just 28 regular-season games over the last three seasons. Once Young returns to full health, he's expected to provide some pass-rushing prowess to the Saints' defense in 2024.
