The Saints placed Lemieux (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Lemieux was unable to practice all week and had been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs due to an ankle injury prior to being placed on IR. The 27-year-old will now be forced to miss at least the Saints' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Rotowire
Lemieux (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game versus Kansas City, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lemieux has been unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury. His next chance at playing will be Week 5 against Tampa Bay on Oct. 13. The Saints signed veteran Connor McGovern from the Jets' practice squad to the active roster Friday, and although he has just two practices under his belt in New Orleans, he'll likely serve as the starting center for Monday's contest.

Rotowire
Lemieux (ankle) played 26 snaps (22 on offense, four on special teams) in the Saints' 16-14 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.
Lemieux sat out of multiple practices due to an ankle injury, but he was able to suit up for New Orlean's preseason opener. The 2020 fifth-round guard appeared in four regular-season games (including one start) in 2023 with the Giants, and he's competing for a depth spot on the Saints' offensive line.

Lemieux (biceps) participated in OTAs last week, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Lemieux missed most of the 2023 campaign with a ruptured biceps, but he was able to take the field last week with his new squad and saw first-team reps during OTAs. Although he could earn a starting role, the Oregon product is ultimately expected to be a depth option at guard for the Saints behind projected starters Cesar Ruiz and Nick Saldiveri.

Lemieux missed New York's Week 5 contest against Miami with a groin injury, but he was able to log a trio of limited practice sessions this week and will be able to make his return Sunday night. John Michael Schmitz (shoulder) is inactive for the contest, so Lemieux may get some reps at center.

Giants' Shane Lemieux: Out Sunday

Lemieux (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Miami, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lemieux will be sidelined this Sunday after he suffered a groin injury during New York's Week 4 loss to Seattle. Ben Bredeson is expected to move from left guard to center in Lemieux's stead, and Mark Glowinski will likely step into Bredeson's regular spot on the Giants' offensive line.
