Chase Young on returning to practice | New Orleans Saints

All right, Chase. Back practicing this week. Just uh how we feeling then? Feeling good, man. Good to get off the uh getting off the bench. Feel good. Just uh getting off the bench, going out and practice. Um happy. What’s been the hardest part rehabing this injury? Uh nothing really too hard. Just taking everything day by day. Um yeah, nothing too hard though. Is there anything difficult like the timing of it obviously? You know, it was like right before the season and then you know, kind of you know, holding you out a little bit longer than maybe anticipated. Yeah, I mean those things you can’t really control, so I just control what I can control and uh and that’s just getting right and that’s that’s what I’m doing my best to get right. Was it longer than you anticipated? Uh no. Um it was kind of a I would say group incision. Um you know a lot of people you see with the calf can reagravate it. Um so you know we just making sure that won’t happen. This is more of a maybe a basketball thing, but calf, Achilles, like how do you have to be careful with that? Like, you know, that’s why we take more time. When you’re when you’re a big guy and you have to make explosive moves on pass rush, is does the calf is there a lot of stress on that muscle in particular and that’s why you have to be careful? I think you know the answer to that. You know that answer. Yeah. I mean, right. 280 getting off the ball. Not a lineman that just stands there, you know, kind of don’t got to be explosive. So, yeah, I I’m an explosive guy. Um, you just got to make sure everything is all the way together. How did you have any reaction to the the discourse around the injury? No, I was I was locked in the whole time. Still in my my film, still in my book. So, what have you made the the pass rush so far this season without you? And seems like Cam particularly, you know. Yeah, I feel like I feel like we rushing pretty well right now. Um, just excited to um add some more goodness to that uh situation. Um, and you know, just uh do what I can to, you know, be the best young I can be. Do you like your chances to play this week or is it I like my chances. We’re gonna see. I’m hopeful. Right. Um, going against they have Will Campbell and Morgan Moses you played with. Make up the line. Uh, yeah. Will Campbell, uh, real good young rookie. Um, been playing well. Um, Morgan Moses, I played with him at Washington. Uh, so, um, good right tackle. I know what he what he brings to the table. Um, so, uh, definitely got a definitely got a pretty good online. I think we’ll be ready. What do you make of your injury happening after the contract? I know you said you weren’t worried about the the discourse around it, but just those the maybe the unfortunate timing of that happening. Yeah, I mean, things happen, people get hurt as you see the whole league. People get hurt, things happen. So, uh, you know, just controlling what I can control. Drake Mazize shown an ability to kind of get outside the pocket and make some throws, you know. How do you kind of contain him on the defensive front? Got to be uh just got to have quarterback awareness, bro. Um rush as a group, stay in our rush lanes. Um yeah, I mean that’s that’s how you contain any running quarterback. Does he do anything special unique when you kind of watch the film different from some other guys? Uh I mean I know he’s a Drake May is Drake May. Um and what he’s put on tape has been very good. Um, so I feel uh we’re going to put a good plan for him. Um, and and execute. How do you feel like just physically where you’re at? Like do you feel back in line or I feel pretty good. Patriots uh do they what do you think of the the rate of their improvement? They they seem I mean they seem to be better than some people expected. Yeah, we know it’s the league, man. Any given Sunday, the worst team could beat the best team. games to league. Just because something not clicking for a team one point doesn’t mean they don’t have talent players to do it. So any given Sunday, somebody could win. Would you say the flip side maybe that wasn’t discussed enough is that in terms of coming back from injury if you do come back too early, you can end up missing a lot more games than you would have. And obviously it’s I don’t know if you want I don’t know what your feelings are on that, but in your words like how what’s that equation? Yeah, we all um you know is a me training staff um organization wise that’s why we you know we didn’t want to just rush you know what I’m saying in terms of cuz things do happen um I didn’t seen it already in the league dudes and came back then they back out so um that’s something that we didn’t want to happen because this is a new coaching staff were you like impressed with the way that they said like take your time or like how like what was your relationship like with them and not like feeling pressure to Yeah I mean not it was no pressure um you know all the coaches told me when you’re Ready? Let’s roll. That was it.
