Saints lose guard Cesar Ruiz for 4-6 weeks with high-ankle sprain: Report

Veteran Saints lineman Cesar Ruiz will miss 4-6 weeks with a high-ankle sprain, a significant blow to the team’s already injury-plagued offensive line. His absence forces New Orleans to choose between Dillon Radunz and rookie Torricelli Simpkins III as replacements at right guard. The team’s ability to protect Derek Carr without Ruiz will be crucial.
