New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz started training camp on the non-football injury list in July, and while it was expected that he would make a quick turnaround and be ready for the 2021 season after passing his physical, he is now being evaluated for core muscle surgery after exiting Saturday’s practice session early.

However, ESPN’s Mike Triplett reported that Lutz has been dealing with a groin injury, but the hope was that the timetable for return would be short.
