METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints guard Andrus Peat was absent from Monday's practice due to an unspecified hand injury, a source told The Associated Press. The timetable for Peat's return is unclear.
Peat, a first-round draft pick in 2015, re-upped with the Saints this offseason on a five-year, $57.5 million contract extension. He has started 65 games in five seasons, primarily at left guard, making the Pro Bowl as an alternate in each of the past two seasons. The 26-year-old has also moonlighted as New Orleans' left tackle when needed.
Peat played through a broken hand during the 2018 playoffs, and he missed six games in 2019 with a broken arm.
