The New Orleans Saints lost right tackle Ryan Ramczyk to a concussion during Week 4’s game with the Detroit Lions, and he won’t return to play after further evaluation in the locker room. They announced the change to the press box, which was shared by the FOX Sports broadcast team.
Earlier in the game, left tackle Terron Armstead had to step out for treatment in the sideline medical tent, but he returned to action. The Saints are short-handed up front with starting left guard Andrus Peat inactive with an ankle injury. Peat was one of six Saints starters to miss this game because of injury.
In Ramczyk’s place, the Saints went with backup offensive tackle Ethan Greenidge. Greenidge mostly played left tackle at Villanova in college, but he’s been training for this exact situation in his second NFL season. Backup linemen Derrick Kelly and Will Clapp have also dressed for this game, but they haven’t gone into action yet
The Saints have a comfortable lead but they can’t take anything for granted at the start of the fourth quarter. And Ramczyk’s long-term status is in doubt as he deals with a brain injury. Here’s hoping for a full recovery.
