Nick Saldiveri: Everything you need to know

The Saints waived Saldiveri (knee) with a failed physical designation, per NFL comms. Saldiveri is seemingly still recovering from a knee injury he suffered in December 2024 that cost him all of last season. The 25-year-old will look to get healthy and catch on with another team.

Saldiveri (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Saldivari suffered the injury Friday, so the official diagnosis didn't take long. The Saints signed Shane Lemieux to replace Saldiveri as depth along their offensive line.

Saldiveri (knee) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Rams. Saldiveri was carted off the field following a touchdown by the Saints in the third quarter, making it rather unlikely that he returns to the field in Week 13. Landon Young replaced Saldiveri at left guard against Los Angeles.
