Tanoh Kpassagnon, a defensive end for the Saints, sustained a torn Achilles injury.

Despite a significant Achilles injury, Saints defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon could potentially make a return to the field later in the season, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Kpassagnon started his career as a second-round pick for the Chiefs before signing with the Saints in 2021 as a free agent. Over his three seasons with the Saints, he has accumulated 9.5 sacks and was on the field for 37 percent of defensive snaps and 14 percent of special teams snaps in the 2023 season alone. Throughout his career, he has totaled 16.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, and 41 quarterback hits in just over 100 games, with 34 starts.
