Saints' Isaiah Foskey: On track to play Sunday
Rotowire
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. With Cameron Jordan's (ankle) status in doubt, Foskey could actually be in line for an expanded role come Sunday versus the Lions.

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.
