Injury Knee
Est. Return 7/1/2024
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ramczyk was limited to 10 games in 2021 and underwent a minor knee procedure in February of 2022. He returned to play all but one game last season, and the 2019 All-Pro will reprise a starting role at right tackle heading into his age-29 season. Read Past Outlooks
Medically uncertain for 2024 season
Ramczyk (knee) may not be medically cleared to suit up for the 2024 campaign, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that Ramczyk's knee isn't responding as the Saints hoped, and that the team is unclear when the veteran right tackle will be cleared for action. The knee injury forced Ramczyk to miss the final four games of the 2023 season, and current backup Landon Young (knee) was a notable downgrade once plugged into the starting lineup. If Ramczyk's recovery does extend into the regular season, it will be a significant blow to New Orleans' offensive line.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
NFL future uncertain
Ramczyk's ongoing knee issues have put his NFL future in question, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old offensive tackle has a cartilage defect in his left knee that leaves him with limited surgical options to repair an issue that has been affecting him all season. "I don't know," Ramczyk said last week about a possible fix. "I think those are the discussions we are going to have, that need to be had, and we'll go from there. ... I'll talk with surgeons, doctors, get as much as information as I can and then just make the best decision." Ramczyk has played only 12 games this season and was placed on injured reserve over the weekend, leaving his availability for a potential playoff run by the Saints in doubt.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Ramczyk has been a key piece of the Saints' offensive line for his first five years in New Orleans. The veteran right tackle will look to bounce back from what was a frustrating 2021 campaign in which he battled knee issues for much of the season while playing in just 10 games.
