What happened: Chase Young was a full participant in New Orleans Saints organized team activities this week, appearing in high-energy ball-carrying drills. The team shared footage of the defensive standout with the message "Keeping it movin'" as he enters his third season with the franchise.

Why it matters: Young is coming off a resurgent 2025 campaign where he recorded a 0 sacks and 11 tackles for loss despite missing five games. With the departure of franchise legend Cameron Jordan, Young has emerged as the primary veteran presence for a Saints pass-rush unit that is transitioning into a new era.

By the numbers: 10.0: Sacks in 2025 (Career High) | 11: Tackles for loss in 2025 | 12: Games played in 2025

What to watch: The Saints will continue their offseason program through June before reconvening for training camp in late July.
