Fuaga (knee/back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
The 2024 first-rounder didn't play in the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Seahawks due to knee and back injuries. Fuaga's ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he should resume his starting role at right tackle for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Rotowire
Fuaga (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
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.
