Saints need Chase Young back soon or risk defense sliding further behind

Chase Young has missed the first three weeks of 2025 due to a calf injury. Young is of vital importance to the New Orleans Saints defense. They’ve had issues, especially during week three, at generating pressure. Kellen Moore has to manage a tricky injury, while getting Young on the field as quickly as possible. He could be the difference between a win and a narrow loss.

Calf injuries, or any soft tissue one, are challenging to manage. Young’s injury was initially thought to be minor, but has evolved into a bigger issue. What’s important is that the Saints manage it correctly.
