NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Another key player the Saints were counting on for work in the trenches has been lost for the season, Coach Kellen Moore said Sunday (Aug. 9).

Dillon Radunz, an offensive guard and tackle who started 10 games last season, sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament in practice Saturday and will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Radunz’s injury follows that of Saints defensive tackle Bryan Bresee, who sustained a similar injury July 29, tearing his ACL during the team’s first day of training camp.
