Saints Taliese Fuaga expected to play vs 49ers

The Saints starter at right tackle has been dealing with an inflamed patella tendon injury that caused him to miss the 4th quarter vs the Cardinals, but is expected to go vs the 49ers.

Fuaga shed some light into his plan on dealing with the injury.

“This year, (I’ve) just got to have a routine for my knees,” Fuaga said. “Obviously, a routine I’m probably going to keep for the rest of my career, just to make sure I never have these problems again.

The Saints traded with the Cowboys for backup Asim Richards to shore up the offensive tackle depth following a season ending injury to Nick Saldiveri.
