During the New Orleans Saints’ first preseason game, veteran offensive lineman Trevor Penning was carted off the field with a lower-body injury. Naturally, fans assumed the worst. However, it has since been reported that Penning sustained a foot injury, but avoided anything significant. While fans were fearful of an extended absence, Penning is only expected to miss a few weeks.
This is great news for the offensive lineman and for the Saints. If things go well during his recovery, he could be back on the field in time for Week 1, which would be great for a New Orleans team that needs its offensive line to be at the best.
