Playing in Week 14
Patrick (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Patrick opened the Saints' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions before logging a full workload Friday, indicating that he's moved past his calf issue. With Nick Saldiveri (knee) sidelined Sunday, Patrick is expected to serve as New Orleans' starting left guard.
Ruled out for Week 13
Patrick (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Patrick was unable to practice all week due to a calf injury, and he will miss a third straight game as a result. If Erik McCoy (groin) is unable to play Sunday, Shane Lemieux would be the next man up to start at center.
Out for Week 11
Patrick (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Patrick has been unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Panthers, and he will be sidelined for a second straight game as a result. With the Saints on a bye Week 12, Patrick's next chance at suiting up will be Week 13 against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 1. Erik McCoy (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game but could be activated off IR and start at center, per Rod Walker of The New Orleans Advocate.
Won't play Sunday
Patrick (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. The 31-year-old was held out of practice all week after sustaining a calf injury in the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers that was reclassified as an ankle issue on ensuing injury reports, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. Expect Connor McGovern to serve as New Orleans' top center in Patrick's stead.
Injures calf
Patrick was unable to return to Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Panthers due to a calf injury. Patrick was given a questionable tag, but he ultimately was unable to return. Thus, his status for Week 10 versus the Falcons is up in the air. Connor McGovern would likely be in line to replace him at center if needed.
Will play Thursday night
Patrick (chest) is active for Thursday's game against Denver. Patrick was sidelined for Week 6 against the Buccaneers due to a chest injury. He was listed as a limited participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and he will return Thursday and likely reclaim his starting role at center from Connor McGovern.
Out for Week 6
Patrick (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Patrick has been banged up with several issues throughout the season, including toe, groin and chest injuries. This will be his first full game missed, likely leaving Connor McGovern as the starting center.
Suiting up Monday night
Patrick (groin) is active ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs. Patrick missed practice both Thursday and Friday due to a groin injury, but it now appears he'll play through the pain Monday night. Expect Patrick to serve as the Saints' top left guard in Week 5.
Misses Friday's practice
Patrick (groin) didn't practice Friday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Three of New Orleans' starting offensive linemen already had injury designations ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs, including center Shane Lemieux (ankle). Patrick was in line to start for Lemieux if he couldn't suit up in Week 5, but it now appears that Patrick may not be able to play either.
