The New Orleans Saints will be facing an uphill battle in 2024 as they try to navigate their struggles at one of the most important positions on the field.
reported that Saints' OT, Ryan Ramczyk, has been placed on the PUP List and will be out for the season.It's been well-documented that Ramczyk, who's been one of the better offensive tackles since he entered the league back in 2017, has been dealing with a knee injury. That said, the specific nature of that injury and his recovery timeline was far less clear.Last winter, Ramcyzk underwent a procedure to correct a knee injury that had lingered for over a year.
This update from Schefter confirms that not only will Ramczyk miss training camp, but that the Saints will be without their star tackle for the entire 2024 campaign. With 2022 first-round pick Trevor Penning having struggled mightily so far in his young career, Ramczyk's absence will create some major issues for a Saints offensive line that was already a major point of concern.
Thankfully for New Orleans, they used their first-round pick in the 2024 draft on another offensive tackle when they selected Tylese Fuaga 14th overall out of Oregon State. Although Fuaga projects to be an above-average starter at the position at some point, it's tough to expect a rookie to come in and thrive right away.
Hopefully, Ryan Ramczyk makes a full recovery from this injury and is healthy to play again in 2025. If not, it may be a long wait before the New Orleans Saints are able to compete in the NFC South again.Prior to joining BucsGameday and Sports Illustrated, Collin's written content was provided through Bucs Banter, and NFL Draft Lounge.
