Noah Fant Returns From Injury To Lead Saints Tight Ends

New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant returned from a one-week injury absence in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, out-snapping teammate Juwan Johnson by one total snap. Fant ran nine pass routes compared to Johnson's 18, while Oscar Delp contributed 17 snaps and two pass routes. The Saints' passing attack was severely limited as quarterback Tyler Shough attempted a season-low 25 passes while Minnesota dominated time of possession 39:37 to 20:23.
