Fuaga (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio reports.
Fuaga upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice, just in time to dodge an injury designation for Sunday's divisional clash. The Saints are out of the playoff race, but a healthy right tackle for Tyler Shough will help them try to spoil the Panthers' shot at a division title.

The 2024 first-round pick from Oregon State upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest.

Saints' Taliese Fuaga: Should be good for Week 1
Rotowire
Head coach Dennis Allen said Fuaga's back injury shouldn't be anything to worry about as far as his availability for Week 1 of the regular season, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Fuaga has been dealing with a back issue recently during training camp. The 6-foot-6 offensive tackle should be healthy ahead of Week 1 against the Panthers, but this may mean his availability is limited in the final two games of the preseason.
