ANALYSIS
Foskey was a full participant in the first two practices of the week, but he appears to have tweaked his back and is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest.

Full practice Wednesday
Foskey (quadriceps) did not appear on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS

Dec 31, 2023
Stays sidelined
Foskey (quadriceps) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Foskey hasn't played since Week 13 and has only appeared in nine games during his rookie campaign. He'll continue to work to get healthy and appear in the team's Week 18 regular-season finale.
Dec 20, 2023
Remains out
Foskey (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rams, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Foskey has been dealing with a lingering quad strain since Week 9, which saw him return against the Lions in Week 13 only to miss the Saints' next two games. He'll now add a third consecutive absence Thursday, after being listed as a DNP each day of this week's injury report.
Dec 15, 2023
Won't suit up Week 15
Foskey (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Giants, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Foskey suffered a quad strain early in Week 9 against Chicago and has been managing the injury since. He sat out two straight contests around New Orleans' Week 11 bye, then returned Week 13 against Detroit. However, he's now set to sit out a second straight contest. Foskey hasn't practiced at all over the past two weeks, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to return in Week 16.
Nov 29, 2023
On track to play Sunday
Foskey (quadriceps) was not listed on New Orleans' injury report Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 26, 2023
Unavailable Sunday
Foskey (quadriceps) will not play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Hendrix of Saints News reports.
ANALYSIS
Foskey pulled his quadriceps in Week 9 and has been sidelined since. In his absence, Tanoh Kpassagnon will be the only depth option at defensive end behind Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson.
Nov 10, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Foskey (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie defensive end out of Notre Dame suffered a pulled quadriceps during the Saints' Week 9 win over the Bears, and he was held out of practice all week, so it's no surprise that Foskey will miss this Sunday's contest. Through his first eight games, Foskey has recorded eight total tackles and one pass deflection.
Nov 6, 2023
Could miss some time
Foskey suffered a low-grade quadriceps strain in Sunday's win over the Bears and could miss a week or two, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Foskey suffered the injury on the opening kickoff and was unable to return to the game. The rookie second-round selection has primarily contributed on special teams this season, so any potential absence should have little impact on the team's defensive front if he is unable to play against the Vikings in Week 10.
Nov 5, 2023
Managing quad issue
Foskey is believed to have sustained a pulled quadriceps on the opening kickoff of Sunday's game against the Bears, Brooke Kirchhofer of NOF reports.
ANALYSIS
Foskey was initially considered questionable to return to Sunday's game with a thigh injury, but further diagnosis revealed a quad issue after he was ruled out. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available next Sunday against Minnesota.
Nov 5, 2023
Will remain out
Foskey (thigh) will not return Sunday against the Bears, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Foskey was considered questionable to return upon suffering the injury in the first half, but the second-round selected rookie will be unable to do so. In his absence, Tanoh Kpassagnon should see extra snaps behind Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson.
Nov 5, 2023
Exits with thigh injury
Foskey (thigh) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 second-round pick failed to record a stat before suffering a thigh injury. Tanoh Kpassagnon should see an uptick in snaps on the Saints' defense for the time being.
Aug 21, 2023
Significant playing time Sunday
Foskey recorded one tackle (zero solo) during Sunday's 22-17 preseason win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
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.

New edge rusher for New Orleans
The Saints selected Foskey in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 40th overall.
ANALYSIS
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.
