Saints injury updates after the Broncos game show a banged-up offensive line with Landon Young and Shane Lemieux both dealing ankle issues, Khristian Boyd with a hand, and Rico Payton sidelined with an injury that could take weeks to heal. With Trevor Penning out for the opener and Taliese Fuaga resting, New Orleans faces a depth challenge up front. Will Clapp and Nick Saldiveri suffered season-ending injuries earlier, leaving Young as a key depth option at tackle.

Fantasy managers should watch how the Saints navigate Week 1 protection and run-blocking with the reshuffled interior and tackle spots. The next few days will define which reserves emerge as reliable depth pieces and how the line’s health could influence the Saints’ early-season game plan and rushing attempts.
