Saints' Noah Fant: Upgrades to full Thursday
Fant Donaldson (back) upgraded to full participation at Thursday's practice.
Fant was limited at Wednesday's practice, but the veteran TE faced no limitations Thursday, suggesting that he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers. He has worked as the Saints' No. 2 option at the position behind Juwan Johnson.

Saints' Noah Fant: Working through back issue
Fant (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Fant may have tweaked his back during the Saints' 23-22 overtime win over the Browns in Week 9, when he finished with one catch on two targets for 12 yards. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Panthers. Fant has accumulated 12 catches on 18 targets for 96 yards and three touchdowns through seven regular-season games.

Saints' Noah Fant: One catch in Week 9 win
Fant caught one pass for 12 yards on two targets in Sunday's 23-22 overtime win against Cleveland.
The veteran tight end logged 47 percent of the offensive snaps but is mainly a blocker at tight end, while Juwan Johnson handles most of the pass-catching duties. Fant has four catches for 30 yards over his last four games and is not even remotely on the fantasy radar.

Saints' Noah Fant: Another quiet performance Sunday
Fant gathered in all two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 16-10 defeat against Pittsburgh.
After finding the end zone twice in the loss to the Raiders in Week 3, Fant has combined for just three catches in his previous three appearances. While his two receptions Sunday were a small step in the right direction, he is expected to continue to play second fiddle to Juwan Johnson moving forward. It may also be a matter of time before rookie Oscar Delp logs more snaps from week to week.

Saints' Noah Fant: Only one catch in return
Fant brought in his lone target for seven yards during the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Fant played 30 of 45 offensive snaps Sunday in his return from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury, which was one more than fellow tight end Juwan Johnson. Fant saw only one target from Tyler Shough, although the Saints' offense struggled as a whole against the Vikings' =defense under coordinator Brian Flores, with Shough averaging only 3.8 yards per pass attempt while tossing two interceptions. Fant has a 9-73-3 receiving line on 13 targets through four games heading into Week 7 against the Giants, whose defense has given up 33 catches to opposing tight ends this season, which is tied for fifth-most in the NFL.

Saints' Noah Fant: Cleared to play vs. Minnesota
Fant (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Fant opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, which was enough for him to shed an injury tag and return from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury. He has an 8-66-3 receiving line (on 12 targets) through three regular-season games while operating as the Saints' TE2 behind Juwan Johnson.

Saints' Noah Fant: Limited again Thursday
Fant (abdomen) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
After sitting out Monday's loss to Atlanta, Fant has had his reps capped for the Saints' first two Week 5 practices while he continues to manage the abdominal injury. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's matchup with the Vikings. When available this season, Fant has been productive as the Saints' No. 2 tight end behind Juwan Johnson, registering eight receptions for 66 yards and three touchdowns on 12 targets over three appearances.

Saints' Noah Fant: Limited Wednesday
Fant (abdomen) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Fant missed Monday night's loss to the Falcons, but his limited start to the week would seem to give the veteran tight end a good shot to return to the field for Week 5 against the Vikings. He's turned 12 targets into eight catches for 66 yards and three touchdowns this season as one of Tyler Shough's favorite targets near the end zone.

Saints' Noah Fant: Inactive in Week 4
Fant (abdomen) is listed as inactive for Monday's game against the Falcons.
Despite being a limited practice participant during Week 4 prep, Fant will miss his first contest of the campaign due to an abdominal injury. Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch thus will serve as the reserve tight ends behind starter Juwan Johnson on Monday. Fant's next chance to play is this coming Sunday versus the Vikings.

Saints' Noah Fant: Questionable for MNF
Fant (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Falcons, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Fant's practice participation was limited all week due to an abdominal injury that he likely picked up in Week 3 against the Raiders. With the questionable tag, the veteran tight end's status for Monday may not be known until the Saints announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch would see more rotational snaps at tight end behind Juwan Johnson if Fant is not cleared to play against Atlanta.

Saints' Noah Fant: Another limited session
Fant (abdomen) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Fant maintained his activity level for a second session in a row, giving him just one more chance to get back to full this week. Saturday's injury report will reveal if he's in danger of missing Monday's game against the Falcons due to his abdominal issue.

Saints' Noah Fant: Dealing with abdominal issue
Fant was limited in practice Thursday due to an abdominal injury.
Fant has taken full advantage of his 12 targets through three games this season, turning them into eight catches for 66 yards and three touchdowns. Now, a health concern is impacting him at the start of Week 4 prep, so his status bears watching as the Saints ramp up for Monday's matchup with the Falcons.

Saints' Noah Fant: Two touchdowns in loss
Fant caught all four of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Las Vegas.
Fant made the most of his opportunities, connecting with quarterback Tyler Shough for a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a 16-yard score in the third quarter. The tight end is the No. 2 option behind Juwan Johnson at his position, but Fant has still caught eight of 12 targets for 66 yards and three scores over the first three games this year.
