The Saints placed Saldiveri (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saldiveri hurt his knee against the Rams last Sunday and had to be carted to the locker room. He's now set to sit out at least four contests. Saldiveri will be eligible to return to action Week 18 against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Jan. 5, but with the Saints currently sitting on a 4-8 record and a longshot to contend for the postseason, the left guard's campaign could be over.

Saldiveri (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saldiveri's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as he was unable to practice all week after sustaining a knee injury in the Saints' Week 13 loss to the Rams. Expect Lucas Patrick to serve as New Orleans' top left guard in Week 14 in Saldiveri's stead.

Saldiveri (knee) did not return to Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Saldiveri suffered a knee injury in the third quarter, ultimately requiring a cart to get to the locker room. His status moving forward is uncertain, and if he's forced to miss any additional action, Landon Young is a top candidate to take over at left guard.

Saldiveri (knee) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Saldiveri was carted off the field following a touchdown by the Saints in the third quarter, making it rather unlikely that he returns to the field in Week 13. Landon Young replaced Saldiveri at left guard against Los Angeles.

Saldiveri (shoulder) is active for the Saints' Week 9 matchup with the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Saldiveri injured his shoulder in the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos and subsequently missed last week's loss to the Chargers. In his return, look for him to resume his usual role at left guard.

Saldiveri (shoulder) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saldiveri suffered a shoulder injury during the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos. He is considered week-to-week with the injury, and him being ruled out for Sunday's contest comes as no surprise after he was unable to practice all week. Kyle Hergel filled in for Saldiveri following the latter's exit in Week 7, and the former could start at left guard for Sunday's game.

Coach Dennis Allen said Friday that Saldiveri (shoulder) is week to week after being injured in Thursday night's loss to the Broncos, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With injuries ahead of him on the depth chart on the Saints' interior line, Saldiveri had started the last three games for New Orleans. After Saldiveri left Thursday night's game, Kyle Hergel replaced him at left guard alongside fill-in center Connor McGovern.

Saldiveri (shoulder) will not return to Thursday's game against the Broncos, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With right guard Cesar Ruiz (knee) also inactive Thursday, the Saints are now down both of their starting guards. Landon Young, Olisaemeka Udoh and Kyle Hergel are New Orleans' backup guards.

Saldiveri has recovered from a groin injury, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saldiveri got hurt during minicamp last month, but he is now healthy once again. The 2023 fourth-round pick is in line to serve as New Orleans' starting left guard once the new campaign begins.

Head coach Dennis Allen told reporters Wednesday that Saldiveri sustained a groin injury while doing individual drills at New Orleans' mandatory minicamp, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen also noted that the injury doesn't appear to be serious. Saldiveri, a second-year offensive lineman out of Old Dominion, appeared in four games and played 37 total snaps during his rookie campaign. Once Saldiveri returns to the field, he's expected to compete for the Saints' starting left guard spot, amid Andrus Peat's departure earlier this offseason.
