Saints Rookie Trevor Penning Could Return Sooner Than Expected

Trevor Penning and the Saints got some good news this week. The first-round offensive tackle could return from his foot injury by early November, according to

. Saints coach Dennis Allen also provided some optimism, telling reporters that there’s hope the first-round pick will be able to play at some point this season, per

.

Even if he’s not ready to play by early November, Rapoport estimates that Penning should be healthy enough to practice. Either way, it sounds like the lineman should be good to go for the stretch run of the season, something that didn’t seem likely when we first learned of the rookie’s foot injury.
Penning initially suffered what was thought to be a “bad case of turf toe” during New Orleans’ preseason finale, but it was later revealed that the lineman suffered a ligament tear in his injured foot. Considering the timing and severity of the injury (plus the organization’s investment in the lineman), there was some fear that Penning may have to miss his entire rookie campaign.
The Northern Iowa product was selected by the Saints with the 19th-overall pick in this year’s draft, and he was expected to replace the departed Terron Armstead in the starting lineup. The rookie made headlines during training camp when he got into fights with teammates for three consecutive days. James Hurst was expected to start at LT even before Penning suffered his injury, and when the rookie returns, there’s a chance he’ll have to settle into a backup role.

Good just don't rush it. He could be our future for the next decade.

James Hurst ain't that dude at LT.

Ice up Penning !

Bump ...

Again, Trevor could possibly become a bookend LT for the next decade. No need to "rush" him back.

This is another toe/ligament injury that takes MONTHS to heal properly - see Michael Thomas.

I'm not a doctor but do know a former professional NFL RB that says this type of injury is EXTREMELY painful & a complete PITA to recover from.

Like this guy and hope he doesn't return until fully recovered. Would be great to have him start for next decade.

Mike would rather take the rest of the season off and still get paid instead of rehab and come back this year.

Spotlight on the staff - get this one wrong and every last one should lose their job.

No. Mike, like every other player, would rather be on the field playing.

It was initially diagnosed as a turf toe. Go figure! Our doctors and Ochsner Clinic are at least consistent, even though they're usually wrong. Why are we still with them?
