Trevor Penning Designated To Return From Injured Reserve
2 years agoNew Orleans Saints rookie first-round left tackle Trevor Penning (toe) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday, opening his 21-day window for the team to officially activate him from IR. The 23-year-old rookie was put on IR in early September after having surgery on his toe, but he's nearing his NFL debut for the Saints. It remains to be seen if New Orleans will ease the young tackle into the fold, but Penning was expected to immediately step in with a significant role on the offensive line before he suffered a toe injury. Regardless, the Saints offense and quarterback Andy Dalton will be in better hands once they have Penning playing. He'll have a chance to debut in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
