The Saints were rebuilding their defense anyway, again, and now they have a hole in the middle of the side of the ball they can trust.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Saints center Max Unger suffered a foot injury, and is expected to miss the start of the 2017 regular season.
Unger stabilized the middle of their offensive line after coming from Seattle in the Jimmy Graham trade, and if he has to begin the season on the physically unable to perform list, it would be a major blow for the Saints offense.
It could also send them back into the market for some options, such that they can replace such an important player at this stage of the offseason.
