Saldiveri (shoulder) is active for the Saints' Week 9 matchup with the Panthers. Saldiveri injured his shoulder in the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos and subsequently missed last week's loss to the Chargers. In his return, look for him to resume his usual role at left guard.
Saldiveri (shoulder) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Saldiveri suffered a shoulder injury during the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos. He is considered week-to-week with the injury, and him being ruled out for Sunday's contest comes as no surprise after he was unable to practice all week. Kyle Hergel filled in for Saldiveri following the latter's exit in Week 7, and the former could start at left guard for Sunday's game.
Coach Dennis Allen said Friday that Saldiveri (shoulder) is week to week after being injured in Thursday night's loss to the Broncos, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. With injuries ahead of him on the depth chart on the Saints' interior line, Saldiveri had started the last three games for New Orleans. After Saldiveri left Thursday night's game, Kyle Hergel replaced him at left guard alongside fill-in center Connor McGovern.
Saldiveri (shoulder) will not return to Thursday's game against the Broncos, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. With right guard Cesar Ruiz (knee) also inactive Thursday, the Saints are now down both of their starting guards. Landon Young, Olisaemeka Udoh and Kyle Hergel are New Orleans' backup guards.
Saldiveri has recovered from a groin injury, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports. Saldiveri got hurt during minicamp last month, but he is now healthy once again. The 2023 fourth-round pick is in line to serve as New Orleans' starting left guard once the new campaign begins.
Head coach Dennis Allen told reporters Wednesday that Saldiveri sustained a groin injury while doing individual drills at New Orleans' mandatory minicamp, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Allen also noted that the injury doesn't appear to be serious. Saldiveri, a second-year offensive lineman out of Old Dominion, appeared in four games and played 37 total snaps during his rookie campaign. Once Saldiveri returns to the field, he's expected to compete for the Saints' starting left guard spot, amid Andrus Peat's departure earlier this offseason.
Saldiveri (shoulder) took part in OTAs last week, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Saldiveri finished last season on IR, but he is now healthy and ready to compete. The second-year pro split reps at left guard with the newly acquired Shane Lemieux during practices.
