Bad news in New Orleans as the Saints are expected to be without their star center for multiple weeks, per reports

The New Orleans Saints will be without one of their top offensive linemen for at least the next several weeks, per reports. On Tuesday,Garafolo says that McCoy will likely miss 6-8 weeks of action following the expected surgery. It's probably not a season-ending scenario. However, it means that McCoy will likely head to injured reserve and that the Saints will be without one of their top blockers for an important stretch of games.

Considered one of the best centers in the game, this will be a big blow for an offense that played outstanding over the first two weeks of the year. Cesar Ruiz may be another option to take McCoy's spot. He's been the starting right guard for New Orleans since 2021, but most of his collegiate career was spent at center with the Michigan Wolverines. Ruiz has played several games at center for the Saints when McCoy has been injured in the past.
