"Tests confirmed that McCoy tore his biceps and Miller tore his ACL in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Chicago Bears, Moore said. Moore did not say who will replace McCoy, but said guards Cesar Ruiz and Torricelli Simpkins III both have experience playing center. The Saints (1-6) also traded with the Jacksonville Jaguars in August to acquire veteran center Luke Fortner."
"McCoy, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and team captain, has sustained a significant injury in the last two seasons and played in seven games in both 2024 and 2025. He had a groin injury that required an IR stint last season and also injured his elbow at the end of the 2024 season. "He's one of our most impactful leaders on this team and so other guys are going to have an opportunity to fill that void on the field," Moore said."
Erik McCoy and Kendre Miller are out for the season after tests confirmed McCoy tore his biceps and Miller tore his ACL in the 26-14 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Saints have interior line options in Cesar Ruiz and Torricelli Simpkins III and added veteran center Luke Fortner in August. McCoy, a two-time Pro Bowler and team captain, has faced multiple injuries recently, including a groin issue and an elbow injury, and has played only seven games in each of the last two seasons. The offense ranks 24th in yards and 29th in scoring, and the team is 1-6, increasing urgency to rework the roster and game plans quickly.
