Fuaga (back) participated in 11-on-11 drills during Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Fuaga sustained a back injury in practice last Thursday, which led him to missing the Saints' second preseason game against the 49ers on Sunday. The rookie first-round pick will likely be held out of New Orleans' preseason finale against Tennessee and focus on being fully healthy for Week 1 against Carolina on Sept. 8. Fuaga is slated to start at left tackle and will be responsible for protecting the blindside of quarterback Derek Carr.
