2024 Fantasy Outlook
Patrick started 15 of 16 appearances with the Bears last year, and he signed a one-year deal with the Saints. The versatile veteran will fill in as a fringe starter or primary backup, likely at left guard or center, on New Orleans' offensive line. Read Past Outlooks
Won't play Sunday
Patrick (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old was held out of practice all week after initially appearing to sustain a calf injury in the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers. The injury was reclassified as an ankle issue on ensuing injury reports, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. Expect Connor McGovern to serve as New Orleans' top center in Patrick's stead.
