"Young was injured during practice on Sept. 3, and Saints coach Kellen Moore initially downplayed the injury when asked if it was a concern. Moore said that Young was considered week-to-week around the time of the injury, but he has yet to return to practice. Moore said he doesn't regret keeping Young on the active roster of IR, and said on Wednesday that he was "close" to returning to practice."
""We've had plenty of flexibility within our roster to manage the ups and downs on the 53-man roster." He said Young's injury in particular, he didn't want to make it a long-term issue by bringing him back too soon. "There's definitely evidence to support coming back too soon on these. They become reoccurring things and they create season-long issues and so I think Chase has done everything he can. He's preparing the right way. He's [going to be] ready to rock and roll," Moore said."
