The hits kept coming for the New Orleans Saints offensive line, with right tackle Ryan Ramczyk exiting late against the Houston Texans after entering concussion protocol. That move forced further offensive line shuffling with right guard Cesar Ruiz kicking outside to tackle and rookie draft pick Nick Saldiveri slotting in at the guard spot.
It’s an odd choice — Saldiveri played right tackle throughout his college career, but the Saints have tried to convert him to guard. Either way, this is troubling for the near future. The Saints must play again on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Ramczyk may be a long shot to return from concussion protocol in time for kickoff. It’s something to watch carefully on the injury report this week.
