Cesar Ruiz: Breaking News
Ruiz (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Michigan product has missed the Saints' last two games due to an ankle injury, but Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return. Ruiz likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation in the Week 18 matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.
Ruiz (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Ruiz will end up missing a second straight game due to an ankle injury, so William Sherman will likely start at right guard against Tennessee. With the Saints eliminated from playoff contention, Ruiz's last opportunity to suit up this season is Week 18 against the Falcons.
