2025 Fantasy Outlook
Penning struggled through his first three seasons with the Saints. So much so that the 2022 first-round pick was moved from left tackle to right tackle before last season, and his fifth-year option was declined this offseason. He's slated to transition to guard for the 2025 campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $14.14 million contract with the Saints in May of 2022.
Avoids major injury
Penning is expected to miss just a few weeks with the foot injury he sustained during Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
There was fear Penning suffered a severe injury when he was carted to the locker room Sunday, but the issue is ultimately one he should be able to work through relatively quickly. He had been displaying encouraging signs since being moved inside to guard, and he's still very much in the running for the starting job at left guard come Week 1 of the regular season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Off injured reserve
Penning, who hasn't played this season due to a toe injury, will be activated off injured reserve Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 first-round pick could finally make his regular-season debut after injuring his toe during the preseason. The Saints have been decimated with injuries all along the offensive line, which means Penning could eventually make his way into the starting lineup over incumbent James Hurst.
