The Saints placed Wood (calf) on injured reserve Friday.
Wood's calf injury is set to keep him away from the field for at least four weeks, which essentially mirrors the minimum amount of time he'd be required to miss while on IR. The Saints will likely utilize new practice-squad addition Scott Daly as the interim long snapper beginning with an elevation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Wood (hamstring) did not appear on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.
Wood was dealing with a hamstring injury during the preseason but he appears to have recovered from it. The 32-year-old is set to operate as the team's long snapper in Sunday's regular-season opener against Arizona.
