New Orleans Saints guard Andrus Peat was carted off the field against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football and is out the rest of the game. Peat was the starting option at the position and his absence has opened the way for first-round draft pick Cesar Ruiz to take the field. It also means Nick Easton will maintain a larger role.
Peat is a polarizing figure on the team to many fans. His performances and his health issues have led to criticism, but he still remained one of the best options on the free agent market.
