Trevor Penning Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Chargers have acquired offensive lineman Trevor Penning from the New Orleans Saints for a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Penning, the former 19th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, heads to a Chargers team that is in dire need of help at offensive line with both stud tackles Rashawn Slater (patellar) and Joe Alt (ankle) out for the season, while guard Mekhi Becton (knee) has also missed time. Penning has started six games for New Orleans this season and is ranked 94th out of 119 guards this season, per PFF. He's allowed 15 total pressures, tied for the 23rd most at the position despite playing two fewer games than most players. Penning will likely get an immediate opportunity to play in Los Angeles, where a change of scenery and the chance to protect one of the league's best quarterbacks, Justin Herbert, could be beneficial.

New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Trevor Penning (toe) was unable to practice all week and has officially been ruled out for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. In addition to Penning, the Saints will also be missing defensive end Chase Young (calf) and defensive tackle Alontae Taylor (groin). With Penning out to open the year, the Saints will likely roll with Dillon Radunz and Cesar Ruiz at the two guard spots in the Big Easy against the visiting Cardinals on Sunday. With Young out, the Saints will look to mix and match off the edge with players like Carl Granderson, Cameron Jordan and Chris Rumph as they look to get pressure on quarterback Kyler Murray.

New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Trevor Penning (toe) is out of a walking boot for the first time since being sidelined by turf toe on August 10, according to Matthew Paras of nola.com. Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that Penning is progressing well on his rehab, but would not commit either way on his status for Week 1. A former first-round pick back in 2022, Penning was moved from right tackle to left guard heading into training camp. Dillon Radunz has been filling Penning's spot at guard in his absence. Radunz was graded as the 112th-best run-blocking guard (out of 136 qualified players) by Pro Football Focus for his work in 2024, so Saints running back Alvin Kamara may be the most heavily impacted fantasy-relevant player if Penning misses regular-season games.

The New Orleans Saints didn't pick up offensive lineman Trevor Penning's fifth-year option, but they clearly believe in him enough after moving him to left guard, writes ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Penning came into the league with the expectation that he'd be a left tackle after being taken 19th overall in 2022 out of Northern Iowa, but he was benched in 2023 and moved to right tackle in 2024. He was the starting left guard throughout OTAs and minicamp this offseason, which is a sign that he could find his footing in a new role in 2025 with the Saints. The 26-year-old started just six games in his first two seasons in the NFL before making 17 starts at right tackle while receiving poor grades for pass protection. The Saints will be hoping he'll be more effective on the interior this year.

The New Orleans Saints will not be picking up the fifth-year option on offensive lineman Trevor Penning for the 2026 season. They announced earlier on Wednesday that they will pick up the fifth-year option for wide receiver Chris Olave. It's a no-brainer decision for the Saints on the 25-year-old Penning, who hasn't exactly panned out as a reliable starter on their offensive line since they took him 19th overall in 2022 out of Northern Iowa. He did start all 17 games at right tackle for the Saints in 2024 after starting just six games in his first two years in the league in 2022 and 2023, but Penning was a liability in pass protection for beat-up quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) and those that replaced him due to injury. With the news, Penning is now scheduled to become a free agent after the upcoming 2025 season.

New Orleans Saints rookie first-round offensive tackle Trevor Penning (toe) is expected to be activated from Injured Reserve this weekend ahead of the Week 12 game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to sources. The 19th overall pick in this year's draft underwent toe surgery and has yet to make his NFL debut. It should come this Sunday against a stout Niners defensive line, which is good news for the Saints offense. Before his injury, the 6-foot-7 tackle was expected to play a significant role on the O-line right away, so he should play meaningful offensive snaps the rest of the way for the Saints.

New Orleans Saints rookie first-round left tackle Trevor Penning (toe) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday, opening his 21-day window for the team to officially activate him from IR. The 23-year-old rookie was put on IR in early September after having surgery on his toe, but he's nearing his NFL debut for the Saints. It remains to be seen if New Orleans will ease the young tackle into the fold, but Penning was expected to immediately step in with a significant role on the offensive line before he suffered a toe injury. Regardless, the Saints offense and quarterback Andy Dalton will be in better hands once they have Penning playing. He'll have a chance to debut in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

New Orleans Saints rookie first-round offensive tackle Trevor Penning (foot) has a chance to be ready by early November, according to sources. At the very least, he'll be able to practice by then, and he could be a key contributor down the stretch. It was originally believed that Penning might be out for the entire 2022 season after having surgery on his foot, so it's great news for the Saints. The 23-year-old was the No. 19 overall pick in this year's draft out of Northern Iowa.

The New Orleans Saints officially placed rookie first-round offensive tackle Trevor Penning (foot) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, assuring that he'll miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Penning is out indefinitely after having surgery on a torn ligament in his foot, and he's expected to miss well beyond the first four games of the year. With Penning on the shelf to open the 2022 campaign, veteran tackle James Hurst is expected to start at left tackle on quarterback Jameis Winston's blind side. Hurst also dealt with a foot injury that caused him to miss some action in the preseason.

New Orleans Saints rookie offensive tackle Trevor Penning tore a ligament in his foot and will require surgery, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. He suffered the injury during Friday's preseason game when an opponent stepped on him. He was carted off the field and has now been ruled out indefinitely. James Hurst is slated to play left tackle in Penning's absence, though it's worth noting that he's dealing with a foot injury of his own and isn't a lock to play in Week 1, either.
