Saints could be looking to make changes at left tackle, per source

The New Orleans Saints could be looking to make a change at left tackle against the Houston Texans, per Nick Underhill with NewOrleans. Football.

James Hurst may protect Derek Carr’s blind side instead of Trevor Penning on Sunday at NRG Stadium. With the offense being inconsistent over the last five games, making some changes was inevitable.

When the Saints drafted Penning, they had high expectations. He’s been an unexpected liability in the run game with improved pass protection, but the second year left tackle struggles. Penning may be hindered more by benching him and taking him out of the starting lineup.
