Saints will be without 1st round LT Kelvin Banks Week 3 vs Raiders
The Raiders will face a tough Saints team Week three that will be without their first round left tackle.
The New Orleans Saints have suffered a setback as left tackle Kelvin Banks will miss the upcoming Week 3 game against the Oakland Raiders due to a high ankle sprain. The 2025 first-round draft pick underwent surgery to address the injury, which is expected to sideline him for a couple of months. Banks exited the action in the final moments of a closely contested match against the Baltimore Ravens, where the Saints rallied from a 17-9 deficit to secure a 24-17 victory.
With Banks sidelined, Asim Richards stepped in as the starter at left tackle. The Saints' resilience was evident in their ability to bounce back from an early deficit and defeat a strong opponent in Week 1. Despite the challenges, the team has demonstrated their potential this season, and the Raiders will need to capitalize on every opportunity to secure a win in New Orleans.
