Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Ruled out for Week 4
Ruiz (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
New Orleans' offensive line is suddenly in bad shape headed into Week 4. After losing center Erik McCoy (groin) to injured reserve earlier this week, Ruiz is now out. Lucas Patrick will step in at center. It's unclear if Nick Saldiveri or Shane Lemieux will get the call at guard opposite Olisaemeka Udoh on the other side.

Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Ruled out
Ruiz (concussion) will not play in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
It's no surprise that Ruiz has been ruled out, as he suffered a concussion during Week 3's loss to Green Bay and did not participate in practice throughout the week. Backup guard Andrus Peat is expected to fill in for the 24-year-old this coming Sunday.

Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Misses practice Wednesday
Ruiz (concussion) was unavailable for the Saints' practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Ruiz suffered a concussion in the team's 18-17 Week 3 loss to the Packers, so his absence Wednesday doesn't come as a surprise. The offensive lineman will have two more practices this week to log at least a limited session before Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Sustains concussion Sunday
Ruiz (concussion) will not return to Sunday's game against the Packers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Ruiz sustained this injury at some point during the first half of Sunday's contest, which will leave his status up in the air for the Week 4 contest against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Oct. 1. With the starting guard out, backup Andrus Peat will presumably step in on the right side of New Orleans' offensive line.

Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Inks extension
Ruiz and the Saints agreed Saturday on a four-year, $44 million contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Saints declined Ruiz's $14.18 million fifth-year option for the 2024 season earlier this month, but they'll end up keeping the right guard in the fold on a longer-term basis at a slight annual discount. He has played and started in 31 out of a possible 34 games over the previous two seasons and will remain a key cog along the offensive line for the foreseeable future.
