Young had to be carted off the field during Saturday's game after his leg got rolled up on. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, and the Saints should provide an update on the 2021 sixth-rounder over the coming days. Young's status for Week 1 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 7 is up in the air.

Back to full health
Young (knee) took part in OTAs last week, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Young finished last season sidelined with a knee injury, but his ability to partake in practice suggests the ailment is well behind him. The Kentucky product worked exclusively with the second unit during OTAs at right tackle.

Not returning
Young (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Young exited in the first half and was replaced by Cameron Erving at right tackle. The Kentucky product will now have to wait until Week 18 to potentially see the field again this season.
Dec 31, 2023
Exits with injury
Young has left Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Young's current absence will leave the Saints without their starter at right tackle. While the Kentucky product is sidelined, Cameron Erving has stepped in for him.
Oct 27, 2023
Set to return Sunday
Young (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Young missed New Orleans' last three games with a hip issue, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue after logging a full practice session Friday. The 26-year-old will likely serve as a depth piece on the Saints' offensive line going forward.
Oct 18, 2023
Ruled out again
Young (hip) will miss New Orleans' game against the Jaguars on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Young will now miss a third straight game as he is still recovering from a hip injury. The 2021 sixth-round pick has only played 16 snaps on the season and will shift his focus to getting healthy for next week's game versus the Colts.
Oct 14, 2023
Out again
Young (hip) will remain sidelined for Sunday's matchup with the Texans, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Young's absence will mark his second straight due to a hip issue. He was sidelined at practice all week, rendering this update relatively unsurprising. As a result, New Orleans' tackle depth will be thin in Week 6.
Oct 6, 2023
Out Sunday
Young (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Young popped up on the injury report Thursday with a hip issue and did not participate during Friday's practice, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out this Sunday. New Orleans should be able to survive without the 26-year-old, as he's played only 33 snaps (18 offense, 15 special teams) on the year.

Full participant Wednesday
Young (knee) John Hendrix of SI.com on Wednesday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Young was sidelined by an MCL injury this preseason, though it appears this issue won't limit him heading into Sunday's season opener against the Titans. After making the team's final 53-man roster in late August, the 2021 sixth-round pick should slot in alongside James Hurst as the Saints' top swing tackles.
Aug 13, 2023
Still sidelined
Young (knee) did not practice Sunday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Young is dealing with an MCL sprain and it's currently unclear how much more time he may miss. The Kentucky product is working to earn a reserve role on the Saints' offensive line, but he'll need to get healthy and back on the field first.
Sep 11, 2022
Ready to roll for Week 1
Young (hip) is active for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Young was labeled as questionable after not practicing Wednesday or Thursday and being limited Friday, so it's surprising to see him available. The second-year offensive lineman will likely serve as New Orleans' top swing tackle while Trevor Penning (toe) is on injured reserve.
Jun 28, 2022
Practicing again
Young (foot) was able to participate in the Saints' recent OTAs, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Young's move to IR comes after it was reported Tuesday that he was expected to undergo season-ending surgery. He had just made his first career start Sunday against the Panthers. The rookie will now set his sights on earning a role with the Saints in 2022.
Nov 23, 2021
Surgery expected
Young (foot) is expected to undergo season-ending surgery, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
