Saints' Tanoh Kpassagnon: On track to play Week 16
Kpassagnon (Achilles) was not listed on the Saints' injury report Thursday.
Kpassagnon tore his Achilles in the offseason, which prevented him from playing up to this point in the regular season. He was activated off the reserve/PUP list this past Saturday, and while he wasn't able to play in Week 15 against the Commanders, his absence from Thursday's injury report indicates that he is on track to make his 2024 regular-season debut against the Packers on Monday. Across 17 regular-season games with the Saints in 2023, Kpassagnon registered 19 tackles (12 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and two pass defenses.

Saints' Tanoh Kpassagnon: Middling production in 2023
Kpassagnon appeared in all 17 games during the 2023 regular season, tallying 19 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two passes defended.
Kpassagnon played every regular-season game for the first time with the Saints, as he missed 11 games over the previous two campaigns. The 29-year-old still logged nine fewer tackles than the 2022 campaign when he tallied a career-high 28. Kpassagnon provided considerably more production than younger defensive ends Payton Turner and Isaiah Foskey, though these three will likely compete for a rotational role heading into the 2024 campaign.
