Young picked up a calf injury in practice last week, which prevented him from playing in the Saints' regular-season opener against the Cardinals this past Sunday.

Young is dealing with a calf issue that he picked up during Wednesday's practice, but the 2020 first-rounder relayed Thursday that the injury is not a long-term concern, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Regardless, Young's practice participation Friday will provide more clarity on his status heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against Arizona. Chris Rumph would be slated to see more snaps at outside linebacker opposite Carl Granderson if Young is not cleared to play.

Young is currently undergoing further evaluations but as of now the injury is not believed to be serious, and he should have a chance to play Sunday versus the Cardinals. If he ends up being sidelined however, Chris Rumph will likely get the start at outside linebacker in Young's place.

The Saints re-signed Young to a three-year, $51 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Incentives can push the deal to $57 million. The No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 Draft, Young appeared in all 17 games for the Saints last season, his first with the team. Young played 63 percent of the defensive snaps as a sub-package edge rusher and finished the season with 31 tackles (21 solo), including 5.5 sacks, tying him for second-most on the team. The Saints are likely hoping Young can continue to find his early career form. He's still just 25 years old.

Young finished the 2024 regular season with 31 tackles (31 solo), including 5.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through 17 games.

EDGE Analysis

Despite serving as the backup defensive end behind Carl Granderson and Cameron Jordan all season long, Young ended up up playing at least 60 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps in 13 of 17 games, and his 5.5 sacks were his most since his rookie season with Washington in 2020 (7.5). Young signed a one-year, $13 million contract with the Saints in March of 2024, so he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent for the second straight year.

Young (illness) does not carry a designation ahead of Monday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

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.
