The New Orleans Saints gave an unfortunate update involving offensive lineman Nick Saldiveri. Kellen Moore announced the guard is headed to injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in training camp. The announcement comes a day after the Saints signed Shane Lemieux.
For Saldiveri, this is the second year in a row he has suffered a long-term injury during training camp. Last year an injury took him out of training camp and dashed his hopes of winning the starting guard competition. The stakes weren’t as high for the guard this year, but the ramifications of this injury are much worse.
