Saints LG Trevor Penning out 2-6 Weeks With Turf Toe Injury

The New Orleans Saints former 1st round pick will be sidelined for the foreseeable future and could be in jeopardy of missing Week 1 of the NFL season. The circumstances are extremely unfortunate as Penning had begun to find his footing following a position switch from tackle to left guard, a genius decision made by new head coach Kellen Moore. This could be considered a significant setback in Pennings development at his new position, and another hit to the Saints offensive line after also losing backup G\C Will Clapp to IR on Tuesday.

The good news, it's turf toe, so it's not season ending. The bad news, it's turf toe. Offensive linemen rely heavily on their footwork and stability making turf toe particularly impactful depending on the severity.
