Kellen Moore gave an injury update on Friday ahead of the New Orleans Saints’ second showdown with the Carolina Panthers. Takes Fuaga was nowhere to be seen. With no injury designation for Fuaga, Tyler Shough will have both of his starting offensive tackles protecting him. That hasn’t been the case in three of his five starts.
Fuaga’s return is well timed. Asim Richards has manned the right tackle position in Fuaga’s absence, and he has already been ruled out of this game due to a high ankle sprain suffered last week. Rather than being forced to their third string right tackle, the Saints get their starter back.
