Landon Young: Everything you need to know

Young (ankle) signed with the Jets on Sunday. Young appeared in 56 games with 12 starts over his first four seasons with the Saints, but he spent the entire 2025 campaign on IR with an ankle injury. The 2021 sixth-round pick was one of 31 tryout players during the Jets' rookie minicamp, and he is heading into his age-29 season.

New Orleans placed Young (ankle) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Young will undergo surgery to address the ankle injury he sustained during the Saints' preseason finale versus the Broncos. Due to the timing of his trip to IR, he'll have to stay there until the end of the 2025 season unless he works out an injury settlement with New Orleans.

Head coach Kellen Moore relayed that Young is dealing with an ankle injury that he picked up during the Saints' 28-19 loss to the Broncos during Saturday's preseason game, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Young had to be carted off the field during Saturday's game after his leg got rolled up on. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, and the Saints should provide an update on the 2021 sixth-rounder over the coming days. Young's status for Week 1 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 7 is up in the air.
