Saints lose Erik McCoy for the year to a torn bicep suffered vs Bears

Eric McCoy managed 7 games in 2024 and will only match that in 2025 as his season has come to an abrupt end following a bicep injury suffered vs the Bears.

In setting the lineup the Saints should look to move Cesar Ruiz to center and shift Dillon Radunz to RG to get the best and most talented five on the field. Radunz himself is a former 2nd round selection.

In an interview with neworleansfootball.com Brian Baldinger suggested Ruiz best fit in the NFL is center. Ruiz has played out of position mostly because McCoy has been a standout at Center, but the door is finally open for an adjustment to be made.

Meanwhile the Saints continue to be snake bitten with injuries to their best players. Since signing his 5 year 60 million contract extension in 2022, Erik McCoy has played in 17 games only once.
