Trautman (foot/ankle) is optimistic he avoided a major injury but nonetheless will visit a specialist to get a return timeline, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
While he seemingly avoided a long-term absence, there hasn't been anything said about Trautman's potential availability for Week 1. He's tentatively expected to be the team's top pass-catching tight end, with Nick Vannett (knee) the favorite for in-line, blocking work. Vannett was also injured in Monday's preseason game against the Saints, leaving Juwan Johnson and Ethan Wolf as the healthy tight ends.
