This isn’t what you want to see. New Orleans Saints rookie left tackle Trevor Penning is expected to undergo surgery after a serious turf toe injury, which will take him out of action indefinitely. It’s leaving a big impact on the Saints offense and Penning’s career trajectory.

His technical flaws as a prospect were on display throughout the summer, and though he was showing some rapid improvement the Saints weren’t exactly pressured into starting him right away with James Hurst on top of the depth chart.
