Foskey (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Foskey popped up on the Saints' injury report Friday with a back injury that prevented him from practicing, but he's good to go for Sunday's bout. The 2023 second-round pick played 32 snaps (11 on defense, 21 on special teams) and registered four tackles (one solo) in New Orleans' Week 1 win over Carolina.
Foskey (back) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Foskey was a full participant in the first two practices of the week, but he appears to have tweaked his back and is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. The 2023 second-round pick played 32 snaps (11 on defense, 21 on special teams) in Week 1 against the Panthers and finished with four tackles (one solo).
Foskey suffered the injury on the opening kickoff and was unable to return to the game. The rookie second-round selection has primarily contributed on special teams this season, so any potential absence should have little impact on the team's defensive front if he is unable to play against the Vikings in Week 10.
Foskey was initially considered questionable to return to Sunday's game with a thigh injury, but further diagnosis revealed a quad issue after he was ruled out. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available next Sunday against Minnesota.
Foskey was considered questionable to return upon suffering the injury in the first half, but the second-round selected rookie will be unable to do so. In his absence, Tanoh Kpassagnon should see extra snaps behind Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson.
The 2023 second-round pick failed to record a stat before suffering a thigh injury. Tanoh Kpassagnon should see an uptick in snaps on the Saints' defense for the time being.
