Saints DE Glenn Foster was forced from New Orleans' Week 12 game against the Falcons with a lower-leg injury. The reserve defensive end was carted to the locker room with what had the looks of a serious injury. An undrafted free agent out of Illinois, Foster's season could be through.

Saints UDFA DE Glenn Foster is considered a "lock" to make the roster after flashes of dominance in the preseason. Undrafted out of Illinois, Foster has four sacks in the preseason and a forced fumble, and saw snaps with New Orleans' first-team defense in the third exhibition game. Foster had a draftable grade coming out of college from Russ Lande, but was viewed as a bit of a tweener at 6-foot-4 and only 285 pounds.

The Times-Picayune calls undrafted rookie DE Glenn Foster the surprise of Saints camp. Through two preseason games, Foster has three sacks, seven tackles, three quarterback hits and two tackles for a loss. The Illinois product has outplayed Tyrunn Walker and Tom Johnson as he battles for a roster spot behind starting ends Cam Jordan and Akiem Hicks. The Saints are desperate for anyone that can generate a pass rush.
