Foskey (quadriceps) was not listed on New Orleans' injury report Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Foskey has been sidelined for the Saints' past two games due to a quadriceps injury he sustained in Week 9 versus the Bears, but it now looks like he'll be available to suit up for Week 13.

Saints' Isaiah Foskey: Significant playing time Sunday
Rotowire
Foskey recorded one assisted tackle during Sunday's 22-17 preseason win over the Chargers.
Foskey played a team-high 47 defensive snaps during the Saints' second preseason contest, which was a notable increase over his 25 defensive snaps in the preseason opener. The rookie second-round pick is expected to compete for a primary rotational role behind veteran defensive ends Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson this coming season. However, Foskey may still need to prove himself over 2021 first-rounder Payton Turner and veteran Tanoh Kpassagnon, the latter of whom signed a two-year, $6 million extension this offseason.

Saints' Isaiah Foskey: New edge rusher for New Orleans
Rotowire
The Saints selected Foskey in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 40th overall.
Foskey (6-foot-5, 264 pounds) has a prototypical build for a 4-3 end, yet his athleticism is more like what you see at safety with a 4.58-second 40-yard dash and 125-inch broad jump. Foskey's production at Notre Dame implies a standout skill set to pair with his obviously plus athletic talent, making for a prospect profile befitting a first-round pick in many other drafts. Foskey is a candidate to start for the Saints after posting 11 sacks in each of the last two seasons.
