Patrick (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was held out of practice all week after initially appearing to sustain a calf injury in the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers. The injury was reclassified as an ankle issue on ensuing injury reports, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. Expect Connor McGovern to serve as New Orleans' top center in Patrick's stead.

The Saints signed Patrick (calf) to a one-year contract Sunday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick appeared in 23 games with 20 starts over the past two seasons with Chicago. The 30-year-old was the team's starting center for almost the entire 2023 campaign, but he ended the year on IR due to an unspecified calf injury. While the nature of this issue was never revealed, Patrick now appears to be healthy again. He should now provide depth along the interior of New Orleans' offensive line.
