The New Orleans Saints will be without their top pass rusher to begin the season.

The Saints ruled out defensive end Chase Young (calf) for Sunday's opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Young, who re-signed with the Saints on a three-year, $51 million contract this offseason, suffered a calf injury in Wednesday's practice and missed the next two days.

In addition to Young, the Saints will be without Trevor Penning — who was ruled out with a toe injury.

The Saints also listed safety Jordan Howden as questionable with an oblique injury.

But New Orleans' updated injury report did not include a status for cornerback Alontae Taylor — meaning he's good to go for Sunday's game.

Taylor had been out since Aug. 8 with a groin injury.
