The New Orleans Saints will open the season without their starting left guard when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday at noon.
Andrus Peat (quad) was among the team's seven inactive players announced before the game. Without Peat, the Saints will likely insert Josh LeRibeus into the starting lineup.
Meanwhile, the Saints have a somewhat surprising healthy scratch among their inactive players as wide receiver Cameron Meredith won't play. The wide receiver corps will feature Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn Jr., rookie Tre'Quan Smith, Austin Carr and Tommylee Lewis, though the extent of the roles behind Thomas are unclear to start the season.
