Nick Saldiveri: Everything you need to know

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.

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.
