Young played 63 percent of the defensive snaps as a sub-package edge rusher and finished the season with 31 tackles (21 solo), including 5.5 sacks, tying him for second-most on the team. The Saints hope Young can continue to find his early-career form. He's still just 25 years old.

Productive season as backup Young finished the 2024 regular season with 31 tackles (31 solo), including 5.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through 17 games.

Impact Despite serving as the backup defensive end behind Carl Granderson and Cameron Jordan all season long, Young ended up up playing at least 60 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps in 13 of 17 games, and his 5.5 sacks were his most since his rookie season with Washington in 2020 (7.5). Young signed a one-year, $13 million contract with the Saints in March of 2024, so he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent for the second straight year.

Clear for Monday Young (illness) does not carry a designation ahead of Monday's game against the Packers.

Impact Young missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness before returning as full participant Saturday. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick has been productive in his first season with New Orleans, tallying 25 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and two passes defended. He should reprise his role as the team's top rotational edge rusher behind Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson on Monday.

Misses Friday's practice Young (illness) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 25-year-old has now missed two consecutive practices due to an illness, putting his status for the Saints' Week 16 matchup against the Packers in doubt. Young almost certainly needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Saturday in order to play Monday night. If he's unable to do so, Payton Turner is likely to serve as New Orleans' top rotational edge rusher.

Dealing with illness Young (illness) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Young is coming off a two-sack performance against the Commanders this past Sunday. However, it appears the 2020 first-pick is under the weather, which prevented him from participating in the Saints' first official practice of the week Thursday. Young will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers.
