Saints backup C/G Will Clapp expected to miss "significant" time after suffering foot injury vs Chargers

"The New Orleans Saints offensive line depth took a hit as veteran Will Clapp is expected to be out for quite some time. The Saints' backup G/C appeared to suffer the injury on their first offensive play while blocking #96 of the Chargers. Clapp favored the foot immediately after disengaging from the lineman but jogged back in the frame late to snap the ball on the next play. He would eventually be escorted off the field with the assistance of trainers following the Saints' 2nd play from scrimmage.

While unfortunate for Clapp, this opens up an opportunity for rookie C/G Torricelli Simpkins to make a case for the Saints' 53-man roster."

UPDATE: Clapp is awaiting a second opinion, but potentially the injury is season ending and will require surgery.

UPDATE: Clapp was placed on IR ending his season.
